It is a problem to have. I was originally making 3 gallons of strawberry wine, and through human error added too much water, bringing the volume to 4 gallons. My plan is to bite-the-bullet make 5 gallons worth (oh the horror); however, I am not wise in the ways of determining how much sugar to add. Since I only have a volume of 1 gallon to play with, I don't want to engage in trial and error. How do I go about calculating the amount of sugar to add hit my desired O.G.?
Receipe:
-9lbs strawberry
-3-11oz cans of Welch's grape juice
-4 lbs light brown sugar
-5 tsp citric acid
-3tsp yeast nutrient
-3 campden tablets
-pectic enzyme
-1 pack Cote des Blancs wine yeast (not added yet)
-O.G. at 4 gallons is 1.070 (The receipe is for three gallons, but I accidently made four).
I am trying to make this medium-sweet and was shooting for a O.G. of ~1.115-1.120. I believe I need about another pound of sugar; however, I am kinda shooting in the dark on this one. Any help would be appreciated!
