So is it Back Sweeten or is it Back Sweetening Wine. Either way we are going to show you how to make wine sweeter by Back Sweetening it. There is a technical way so you can have consistent results each and every time, then there is my way by trial and error. I am a huge fan of sweet wine I just think it brings out the fruit flavor when adding sweetener back in.
I hope you get some tips in this video and you sweeten the wine the way you like it. It's a fun hobby and be sure to follow the channel for more techniques when wine making and whatever else I have planned down the road.

Hello again, another quick question. (it's been covered in your videos but I can't remember which one it was, watched/listened to them all a few times in the background as I'm making/bottling/racking... Ok so, I want to back sweeten my mix berry wine, followed your steps turned out amazing! So, I ended up with 2 1 gal carboys which I want to back sweeten and a bunch of bottles I'm going to leave dry. Off memory of your videos (correct if I'm wrong) Do I add a campden tablet to kill the yeast if any, wait 24 hours, then add the potassium sorbate, then add sugar to desired sweetness? Or when does the sorbate come in to play is my question? The wine turned out crystal clear without the use of bentonite after approx 6 weeks in secondary/2nd racking!! Long reply been into someone of the mix berry wine lol.. Also, on a side note. I tried your banana wine, it didn't seem to ferment right away, I stirred daily and there was foam etc so it seemed a little odd the bubbler wasn't doing much.... After 12 days, I removed the mash, racked into a 5 gal glass carboy, added water to top up, and now the bubbler is going crazy? It's like 3 weeks in(from primary ferm with mash) and the bubbler is still going crazy, wonder if I am going to end up with vinegar?? I think you mentioned in your banana wine video the primary ferm took a long time, but didn't specify how long. Thanks again, love the content, Keep 'em coming. For my 3rd attempt I followed your recipe yet again for watermelon wine, Dropped the yeast in yesterday morning came back 24 hours later the bubbler is going crazy just like the mixed berry batch.

Josh you win for the longest comment.. lol. So fantastic you have been making wine successfully. You can Add campden tablets and potassium sorbet right before bottling. No need to wait to back sweeten do it all right before bottling. Hope that helps and keep me posted of all your wine flavors... that doesn't surprise with banana wine... if you added Energizer should of started right away. If it was foaming it was fermenting. wonder if lid just was not sealed properly.. but just let bubble until done 3 weeks is not uncommon. Great job. 👍👍🍷🍷😎😎

Thanks for the videos. Looking to back sweeten and bottle our first batch of Strawberry wine next week. Trying to determine best way to be consistent from batch to batch. Have considered using a hydrometer by getting small sample to taste then measuring SG for sugar content. Once we get it to taste add sugar to the rest of the batch to match sample readings on the hydrometer. Any thoughts on this?

Hmmmm. Interesting technique and may just work. It kind of seems mighty be time consuming.. I'm really not too concerned about getting exact each time... your strawberries in the next batch you buy could be much sweeter so that would throw off possibly. I just like to add until get where i like for semi sweet add more for sweet. But i still love the idea and would be very curious if it works batch to batch so keep me posted for sure.

Hi Todd and Laura. Love all your videos. You have made making wine fun again. My question is, have you ever back sweetened a batch of wine, bottled it and then tasted it later to find that it's not sweet enough? I have a couple of 5 gallon batches (total of 40 bottles) that this is the situation. Would you ever consider unbottling it to add sweetener and then rebottling it? Any help would be appreciated.

Wow...just what I needed, thanks for the info! This is really helpful. I have a question, would really appreciate if you could give me an advice; I'm about to back sweeten two wines this weekend; apple wine and banana wine. Both of them ended up significantly stronger than I'd thought they would. Both went way bellow 1.000 and are at the upper limit of my yeast alcohol tolerance or above. I used the Bayanus strand with 16% tolerance and the apple wine is right around there, it's technically at 15.9%. The banana wine had higher initial gravity, it went even higher to 17.5% and this is where my conundrum begins, since that is considerably above 16%. Both baches are slightly above a gallon -- 5L (I'm from Europe, that's the standard carboy here). At any rate, do you think it is safe for me not to stabilize the wines and put them into the flip top bottles? If they end up carbonized, I'd be totally fine with that, in fact I'm assuming the apple wine will almost certainly get carbonized since I used the same yeast from the same packet for both and the banana went to 17.5%. Have you ever experienced the yeast go so much above the stated alc. tolerance so as to carbonize even my banana wine? I was thinking about making sugar syrup with 300 grams of sugar per 5 liters. This would add 0.023 gravity per 5L and would put my apple wine at 1.013 gravity and the banana wine at 1.015....given they don't ferment any further of course.
@HowToDoneRight
@HowToDoneRight 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for tuning in. I think the tolerance on yeast Is just a guide line they can go beyond there tolerance usually not much though. If you are going to sweeten i would definitely stabilize it unless your going to keep in a very cool place so fermentation can not start up. As far as flip tops that just can be dangerous especially if not going to use stabilizer. If it were me i would not ever risk not stabilizing sweet wine. Hope that helps a little. 😁😁👍👍🍷🍷

I was going to do the same thing for my first batches, but several folks have told me to absolutely not do that, to let the stabilizers sit for a week before adding more sugar, and others say its perfectly fine to do it all in one step. Do you still do it all at once? Have you ever had any issues with your process, because Id like to do it the way you did in the video. If you're able to answer at all...thanks in advance. Your videos are inspiring.

The rare North American White Mulberry tree is rare and were imported into America. Mine is HUGE (80 ft tall) and planted over 100 years ago. They look just like black/red Mulberries, except they are a white to really light white pink. The Chinese use their leaves to feed their silk worms (interesting fyi). They are sweeter than any other known fruit also. A TOTALLY DIFFERENT taste than regular mulberries. I am in finishing stages (3rd racking) of my red mulberry wine, a separate batch now. Crystal clear. I guess because I didn’t do third racking until 21-28 days and I watched my temps and kept the carboys at 50-55 degrees in a dark root cellar in my basement. And kept my 1st fermentation at a constant 70 degrees. Wanted to tell ya I am using the liquor type corks instead of real cork. So far so good. Going to do what you said as I am on another batch of the wild black raspberries from my property right now and will back sweeten this time. Also I tried some store bought blueberry wine and it was just AWFUL lol! But I can top off a batch with it. You said blueberry is your favorite, and I have a blueberry grower right next door, so going to try that. I don’t care for sweet wine, except German Lieffermilch, so should I attempt just a slightly semi sweet sugar backfill on the black raspberry and blueberry? I figure just go by taste? Thxs again you two!! You’re a great teacher!!

I got a little tripped up on the math also. Here's how I worked out what he's saying. There's 80 US cups in 5 US gallons. From there, divide 80 by 0.25 or 1/4 to get the number of 1/4 cups that are in 80 cups. This will result in 320 one-quarter cups. Since he is adding 1 teaspoon of simple sugar into one-quarter cup of wine and there are 320 one-quarter cups in a 5 Gallon batch of wine, he is recommending to add 1 teaspoon of simple sugar for every one-quarter cup of wine, thus 320 teaspoons for a 5 gallon batch. Lastly, there are approximately 320 US teaspoons in 1.67 US Quarts. So, the ratio he's using is 1 US teaspoon of simple sugar for every 1 one-quarter cup. I hope this helps!
@HowToDoneRight
@HowToDoneRight Жыл бұрын
Basically you are figuring out how much sugar water adding to a specific amount. Then add the same ratio of sugar water to your larger batch. Easier example say 1/20th of your sample is sugar water then you want your larger batch to be 1/20th ratio also by volume. For me tasting each time is best but if I wanted consistency each time and making wine commercially I would have to do the ratio method. Hope that helps some. Lol

So based on your math, which hits me since I am an engineer, you were off when you first started your simple syrup. If you needed 320 tsp for your semi sweet, isn’t that 6.5 cups of sugar water? I only ask as when I was calculating mine, I needed 192 tsp for a 3 gallon batch which is roughly 4 cups. Unless my math is off somewhere, it would not be the first time 😅.

Lol... I could have been off too... the point I wanted to make in the video.. it is best to taste each batch and sweeten to where you like it. Every fruit will be different Even different with the same fruit with each batch. Thanks for commenting and subscribing. 👍 👍😊😊

@HowToDoneRight i do that i get it to 12.5 % then it drops to around 5,9% before the first racking so how do i get it to maintain the higher alcohol reading during racking

Your not using hydrometer properly... 2nd reading is for specific gravity not potential alcohol... watch this video for how to use it..... abv never drops once alcohol in wine does not leave your vessel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF62ppydfKmmb9k
