Interesting .....Can you describe your process a little more? ie. what do you do toclarify? etc.thanksKevin Price wrote: how long did your freinds ferment the longer the frementation the higher the alchol content if your frend only fremented for 7 days persay to your 14 his content will be much less 30 days ot untill the bubbles stop will produce much higher alc content. types of wine yeast will also produse difrent alchol content. I havent used ez caps yeast so I am not sure what it produxes I buy yeast from my brewing store and try difrent kinds. I dont use easy caps I use a glass gallon wine jug and a ballon with a pin hole poked into it and i frement for around 25 to 30ty days and get about 17 to 18 precent alc content out of my wine . I use all difrent kinds of store bought juice. My wine would bring a smile to anyone that ever bought that cheep wine it has a much better taste with the same kick lol cop8_wannabe wrote: I just recently purchased my EZ caps and gave it a quick go with all 6 caps at once for roughly about a 2 week fermentation period based off of a friend's recipe. However instead of the standard 1 cup of sugar, I did half a cup of white sugar and half a cup of brown sugar. I found that my concoctions contained a higher alcohol content and therefore ""dry"" taste. I made: A straight honey mead Honey mead with apple juice White Wine Red Wine Pear Cider Apple Cider And there were all much more potent than my friend's batches. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this. I was also thinking of varying the amount of brown sugar to 1/4 of a cup and 3/4 cup white sugar.
