Okay, going to make a batch of cranberry wine this week. I don't have a hydrometer and was just trying to get a base approximate OG. I'm using store bought cranberry juice (no preservatives).
For a 64 oz bottle with 8 servings, the sugar content is 30 grams - so I figure 240g for yhe batch.
I'm also going to incorporate some raisins in it for yeast nutrient. I though about making a raisin and sugar wash with around 12 ounces or so of water to help incorporate the fruit and add a little more volume.
A - Estimated OG of original juice (and fotmula so I can do it myself in the future)
B - Does it even need any more sugar based on OG?
C - Raisin sugar wash a good or bad idea?
Also, as for store bought juice, will ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) affect fermentation?
Thanks in advance!
