    Back sweeten - how?

    That's Xactly my thinking. Simple syrup to taste is perfect for me. My only thought is if you like dryer wine and your taste is taught to that... you would want to maybe more precise.

    Muscat Based wine

    Muscat Based wine

    I make Muscadine from my Arbor. Leaving the skins in for at least 5 days will improve the color and body. Verses removing them. I have wondered if anyone has made wine combining Muscat and Muscadine..sup supposed to be similar?

    No, you can use it, just be cautious about sticking it one place for long enough to create a vortex...no vortex no worries. Just move it about.. you should get a nice foam cover that dissipates... continue until the gas is out.. about 20 minutes for mine. My drill is reversible so I work forward...
