I make fruit wines. I prefer them slightly sweet. I am trying to determine the best way to sweeten.
Is it preferred to ferment to dryness ensuring fermentation is complete and then back sweeten with a sugar solution?
or
Is it preferred to halt fermentation at the desired SG?
Or is it 6 of one and a half dozen of the other?
The first option seems easier to achieve the desired SG. The second option sound like you would really have to stay on top of the fermentation process with daily checking.
