top up with sugar water?
"k-dawg" wrote in message oups.com... wi ll this help at all? depends on what you are trying to do. will this make the alc higher? If you add sugar water it will probably start fermenting again. If the sugar water has a lower SG than the starting SG it will dillute the alcohol. If it has a higher SG than the starting SG it will possibly give you a higer alcohol. will this dilute my wine? If will dilute taste, acidity, etc. The effect on alcohol will be as described above will this hurt my wine at all? If you need to dilute the taste or acidity, it may help. If not, it may hurt. It is not a common practice. will this do anything at all? thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ' In general this is not something that I would recommend. If you kick off the fermentation again you are back to square one as far as clearing and aging. You would be better topping with water if it is only a little topping or with a simular wine if it is more. My favorate way is to just rack into smaller carboys -- maybe several one gallon sizes and a half gallon size for the difference. That way I do not need much toping up at all. If there is a little left over -- well that gets drunk as neuvo wine. Ray Ray
