Hello
My name is Pat. I just purchased the budget kit and expect it to arrive tuesday! I am so excited! I have purchased old orchard cranberry apple and welch white grape peach for my first two batches. I am curious about the beer and wondered is there a way to just purchase ingredients for a one gallon batch? From what I have read I believe the wine will be sparkling similar to a Spumante ( my favorite). I know to use sugar should I make a simple syrup to ensure the sugars is dissolved or should I use corn syrup from the beginning or a combination? Also I would like an alcohol content of at least 10% I should leave them sit for at least 5 days correct? Oh and are there any other spumante lovers out there and is the finished product close ( keep in mind I like sweeter wines) what did you do to make yours perfect? Thanks for any input!
