For the first time I just ran some residual sugar tests using
Clinitest and found most of the wines in the 0.25% to 0.5% sugar range. Some of the wines seem like they have detectable level of sugar, but I don't know if it's just a taste associated with young wines. I read on some other posts that these aren't too far out of whack, but I want to make sure I don't leave very detectable amounts of sugar. Thoughts? Also, there appears to be one wine (a syrah) that's at about 1%. Let's say I wanted to drop that. Can I assume that primary fermentation is as done as it's going to get by now? If so, I've read something about killer yeasts that you get started at a reasonable volume (e.g., 10%) and then add to restart the fermentation. But is wine at 1% sugar just too low to do anything about? ....Michael |
