I have made 75 gal of Blackberry wine from approx 200 lbs of berries that a Farmer gave me. He gets half of the product and likes his very sweet.
I have read how to back sweeten but my question is this? Say I have a FSG reading of .994 and want to sweeten to .999 the cal. tells me to add 9 oz of sugar to a 5 gal batch. Do I rack off a quart of wine and warm it up on the stove and mix in the sugar and let it cool and then add it back into the 5 gallons or do I do this with water??? Was thinking of doing it with wine, but do not want to cloud whole five gal batch..
Thanks...
