(actually 32 bottles = 6.4 gallons) (5 gallons with cherry Kool-Aid, 1 gallon with ginger, 2 bottles regular)
Gave some to my neighbor today , he said he'd drink a barrel of it.
Yesterday when I opened it it seemed very sour couldn't taste the wine conditioner/back-sweetener at all. Today after I poured from same bottle - smooth as silk and could taste the softener. I may have had too much sulphide in it or it just needed time to aerate.
Got another three gallon batch approx going. (using 4 litre jugs as carboys) In the filtering and sweetening it will be batched altogether and mixed with 2 packages Orange Kool-Aid (The Horror ).
Projected ABV = 11.68 % before backsweeten , 11.15 % after
Projected Sweet = .0469 (ratio 3/4 cup sugar as simple syrup to US gallon)
2288 + 3 = 2291
BTW from my last batch 5 gal + 4.2 litre Jug (about 1 gallon +) ---> the jug had chopped root ginger added to the separate jug. Results were quite superb, the ginger did not over or underwhelm ... except I didn't mark down how much I used ... maybe 3-4 heaping TBPS of loosely chopped ginger?
..
So I got 5 bottles of Ginger Skeeter Pee ( 1 jug = 5 bottles+) - which I labelled Ginger Sharknado putting on stickers of sharks on the bottle.
