This evening I decided to mix a pound of melted sugar into my current concrod grape wine I'm working on.
So I melted the sugar, about 2 cups to 1/4 cup water then poured it in to the 5 gallons of already fermenting grape juice. Within three seconds, the wine is bubbling and frothing and spilling out onto my kitchen linoleum. I probably lost 1/3 to a 1/2 of a gallon of must! Any idea what causes this to happen? Any ways to prevent it from happening in the future on additions like this?
