Glycerin

[Wiz]

I've been adding glycerin to only blackberry wine. Do other wine makers add it to other fruit wines?

[Tom]

Sometimes.

If you bump up the #'s per gallon you really dont need it.
How many #'s did you use for what size batch.

 

[Wiz]

Irregardless of how much fruit was added or not, the question was, how many winemakers add glycerin to their fruit wines?

 

[Tom]

rarely.
I sometimes add it to "juice" bucket when I feel it needs more

 

[Runningwolf]

I have used it on kit wines also

 

[docanddeb]

I have some on hand, but haven't used it. I kinda forget I have it!

Debbie It doesn't take much but it does help the mist wines if you make kits.

 

[docanddeb]

Ya...

That's what I've read.

i've long added glycerin to all my wines. it does alot to improve body, feel on the tongue and flavor... it also adds a touch of sweetness.

Tom I hope you're on your droid. We need you down at the chat room. I can send Allison up with a boat to get you if you need a ride.

[Tom]

[Flem]

Is there an "app" for that????

 

[rocket man]

I add to almost all of my batches whether it's from scratch or a kit. It adds a nice mouthfeel to it I think.
