With this batch we added less sugar to begin with. Last time we got about a 15% ABV, this time we are going for a 12-12.5% ABV. WE USED 20 cups instead of 27 cups of sugar. My wife is still enjoying a bottle from our last batch. I think she has 3 bottles left. However, we took your advice...

When do you use it and how much for a six gallon batch? We just started our second batch. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

We actually didn't end up adding any acid blend at all. We added enough sugar to bring the batch from .990 to 1.006, but that's just where my wife thought it was sweet enough. Not sure how much sugar it took. Def recommend the recipe that we tried with maybe a little less sugar to begin with...

Well you know how us newbies can get in a hurry! Lol. It was completely done and very clear so I couldn't hold the wife back anymore. We stabilized with potassium sorb ate and back sweetened and then let it sit for a week to make sure it wasn't gonna start fermenting again and then bottled...

Finished product and a happy wife. We back sweetened from .990 to 1.006 using simple syrup solution. It's def very warm right now at about 15% ABV but I'm sure it will settle down over the next several months. Next time we will hold back on even more of the sugar in the beginning to lower the...

I'm new but I'd say lower ABV and more mango taste. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Well we will be bottling 2 gallons of it in two weeks from today. Today we added 1/2 tsp of potassium sorbate and back sweetened since we got ours down to .990. We have brought it back to around 1.005. Has a very nice taste. Sky I'm not sure how you could sample ours without driving to...

Don't add the acid blend till it's completely done fermenting to make it easier on the yeast. And maybe cut down a bit on the sugar. Also be prepared to lose about a third of the batch due to the amount of lees. We made six gallons and lost 2gal. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks guys! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

After 29 days in the secondary we reracked and SG is .990. The original 6gal batch is now just a 4gal with all the lees. Looking at around 15% ABV. Wine at this point is flavorful, not tart, with a good burn. Another month and we will be stabilizing and sweetening. Then bottling. Total...
