I just recently purchased my EZ caps and gave it a quick go with all6 caps at once for roughly about a 2 week fermentation period basedoff of a friend's recipe.However instead of the standard 1 cup of sugar, I did half a cup ofwhite sugar and half a cup of brown sugar. I found that myconcoctions contained a higher alcohol content and therefore "dry"taste.I made:A straight honey meadHoney mead with apple juiceWhite WineRed WinePear CiderApple CiderAnd there were all much more potent than my friend's batches. I waswondering if anyone had any experience with this. I was alsothinking of varying the amount of brown sugar to 1/4 of a cup and3/4 cup white sugar.Opinons, Questions, Comments?ORGINAL POSTER: cop8_wannabe
