    Fontana kits also don’t deliver a real good yield, Unless you use your hydrometer to be your guide , meaning , put your base and water mixture together do not bring to a 6 gallon mark,, stir well and take a ABV , reading and if you desire less acholo , add move water , just remember about...

    look I can only tell you what I’ve done. If you let. Your hydrometer be your guide that’s all you need with cheaper kits or any kit for that matter. When adding the water up to a five gallon level Then add or don’t depending on your likes and ABV % ..

    Add a towel to the top and allow the system to work. Whites normally are not hight in PH except Chardonnay. The fpack is just a sweetener Just my thoughts

    No that would be a waste of time . Mist kits dispite what they read late light to medium body .. adding tannins , grape pack etc can build the structure. I my tweaking experience you can build up , you can’t build down and still have a wine worth drinking. Butt that’s just me 🍇🍇
