Hello guys. I don't have hydrometer yet so i have no initial OG reading. I've ordered one but obviously for this brew i won't get initial reading.
I'm not looking for specific number but ball park, what would be estimated alcohol content of Best choice apple juice with added 1 1/4 lbs of white sugar to 1 gallon car boy be (ABV)?
I've used redstar premier blanc, yellow label yeast. Not sure if that matters or not. I've also used 5g for 2.5G of brew, so 2g of yeast per gallon.
From what i've read it's strong yeast. It says wine yeast on it but i've read it's really Champaign yeast that's relabeled. Time for fermentation will be 2 week, or more if it needs more.
I may keep this as wine. I didn't decided yet. It will depend on the taste and dryness or sweetness of it.
I prefer sweeter brews but i can't drink too much of them and I want to be able to drink more then less obviously. I'm not a fan of dry but maybe i can get use to it. I dunno. Thank you in advance.
