I've got a gallon each of pomegranate wow and an original wow in the spare room. Just some simple sweetening questions...
My original wow I want to just take the edge off, so maybe sweeten from 0.992 to 1.000 - how much sugar? any rules of thumb I should know about? i'm really not a very accurate brewer with wine, so providing it just ends up somewhere around medium dry, medium, medium sweet (or demi sec, ooh la la) i'll be happy.
as for the pomegranate, it's fermenting away with 1 litre white grape, 1 litre pomegranate and 800g sugar. i'm sweetening this one with pomegranate juice for some nice fruit flavour after stabilising. how much should I use for the full gallon? is it wise to bottle a single bottle of it dry, and then add the pomegranate juice into the demi john and let it settle out again?
