I've been trying to make sugar-wine (pure rocket fuel) to ferment to dry. So far it hasn't happened. I must have tried 4 batches so far, and to date, no joy.
I've been using 3 lbs. sugar with 1 tsp nutrient and 1/2 tsp energiser for a 1 US gal batch.
It does primary fine with EC-1118 but it does not seem to finish dry. Believe it or not 3 lbs works out to about 16% AP, which is two points below where it should finish at.
Can anybody recommend another yeast to try, or should I just lower the amount of sugar?
Thanks!
