From what I read, SpGr is very important, it tells you a lot of things. As for the first SpGr, when is taken? The way I understand it, you, wash your fruit, Cut it up, smash it up some, add some water, mix all your ingredent (pectin emzine, acid blend and sugar and campden) in the rest of your water and pour that over your fruit. Let that work for 24 hours, then add your yeast.
Now, at what point do you take your first SpGr reading? When do you take your second reading. Alcohol potential means what? What the alcohol content will be when finished or alcohol content at time of reading ? I assume you would add water if it is too high, what do you do if it is too low?
If you reply to this question, please go into great detail, and at about 3rd grade level. I want to learn how to make good wine, and I would like to learn right the first time. Please make it very simple & Thanks for your reply
