So, this was my first go at it.
so I'm attempting to make a 8% because let's face it I don't really care for any weak **** but this is for my lady and I'm giving it a go.
EC-118 yeast 4 packets 2 per 5 gallons , a 5 gallon pot, 2 6 gal carboys or what ever you want to call them, 20 pounds of Corn Sugar. 10 Gallons of RO water.
Result some sort of sweet water wine im guessing but doesn't taste like much of any thing not sure what I did wrong but IV light maybe killed yeast early ? or temp caused them to go dormant..
gave them a warm bath nothing happens really kept at 68°F mostly never dropped under 50 that I know of
EC-118 is for 50-80°F
1.160 Grav
expected ABV 8%

I'm thinking of using cane suggar next time in a ratio that is more like 7 pounds to 1 n 1/2 Corr to give a light sweet taste
