Just an FYI...
I did a little experiment with cheap tequila yesterday. I filled a 250 ml graduate with a 10% solution of alcohol. (62.5 ml 40% ABV tequila, topped to 250 ml of solute with distilled water.) @ 77 F = 250 ml @ 24 F = 249 ml That should have worked out to a 76 ml drop in both carboys of red I have in stabilization; 18.9 L/ .25 L = 76 ml. It did. Both took a bit over 70 ml, (74 and 76). (I did not mark them exactly when I chilled them and do not know the exact temperature of the wine prior to stabilization. I did not expect to do this experiment.) That works out to a change of 0.0755 ml/L/degree F. In a 5 gallon carboy that would work out to an increase of 1.4 ml/degree F rise. Water and alcohol densities are not a constant but for all intents and purposes it's close enough over the sort range of temperatures winemakers work with. Joe |
