I realize I could do this by hand but the uncertainty has me worried-
I'm not looking to produce hand grenades in the basement. I have 54.0 L of Chardonnay that I have intended to turn into Champagne. I would like to go for the higher end of the gas pressure (90 psig), and have syringes capable of delivering near exact quantities of fluid. That said, the recipe I have seen is at http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...0 1ddf9a5128b (quoted) Step one:Tirage INGREDIENTS 5 gal cuvee ( or white wine to the rest of us)alc content of 10.5%and 6 months old 13 oz(390 grams) sugar 5 tsp yeast nutrient 2 x 5g champagne yeast I was told you could sterile filter the cuvee (to give the wine a 'clean start') prior to inoculation with sugar and yeast, or that you could mud it and settle it, or you could go directly into the bottle. I haven't decided yet which. I know there is a CO2 equiv chart for how many grams per atmosphere, but I can not locate it. Help and suggestions greatly appreciated! Jason |
