So,
I've made 2 gallons of Rice and Raisin wine, which seemed to be going along well in the bucket for the last week.
Sunday I strained it off into 2 demijohns, one of them is full, and due to some adding error the second one was about 1.5 litres missing. Obviously I was mildly irritated lol.
So, usually when this happens I bung in some apple juice (I personally think it works with everything), I only had a litre so I chucked that in and there was still a gap.
On here I read that you should top up with sugar syrup of the same amount of sugar as was in the original wine.
So I got about 300ml of water and added approx 220g sugar and dissolved it. Then I chucked that in and filled it up to the top.
Both seem to be chugging merrily along at the moment.
This is the ingredients per gallon:
750g rice
500g raisins
1 kg sugar
yeast
yeast nutrient
half teaspoon citric acid (replace with juice of 1 lemon)
water to 4.5 litre.
Which I think works out at about 289g sugar per litre.
So my question is, have I added enough sugar or too much?
(oh the apple juice I added was just some tesco concentrate stuff, which is apparently 95g sugar per litre)
