      Hi Skye! There is a technique to do this called "back sweetening". This involves stabilising the wine to prevent fermentation restarting and then re-sweetening. I haven't made a separate video on the process (I really should) but I do cover it in detail in our video series on making Blackberry Port. It's in the second part the series that you can find in the link below

      @EnglishCountryLife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Adie! I'm just filming a video (blackberry port) that will demonstrate this very thing. If you need to know urgently, Google ”back sweetening”. In effect
      1) Let it ferment out
      2) Stabilise with potassium metabisulphate & potassium sorbate to prevent fermentation restarting
      3) Increase sweetness by adding sugar or other sweetener

    Would love to know how to get a dry, medium and sweet version of this plus any other recipes. Very well presented and your execution and the video have simplified the process enormously. I n respect of the variations of the sweetness is there a standard ratio of sugar you add per gallon to achieve the differences between the different sorts of wine. Keep your videos coming they are superb.

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I will put together a recipe on sweetening over Winter when I gave time. There aren't really standard ratios on adding sugar quantities because different fruits contain different amounts of natural sugars, but if you use a recipe for blackberry that was originally for raspberry it will be close. One for parsnip, not so much! Thank you for the kind words.

    After looking round the web, i've Just started a strawberry wine today (it's the wife's favourite), based on your method as i like the way you do it and explain things, . The only changes i've made are that i will make it (hopefully) a tad less potent by using a little less fruit and sugar, and will use a fine mesh straining bag for the first 24 hrs to hopefully make the process of removing the must and filtering the bits out easier. One question though, did you rack it off inbetween putting it in the demijohn and using finings, and if so when. thanks.

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I strain into the demijohn, rack when there's a good layer of sediment and again before fining the wine. Any time you see a thick layer its okay to rack. Hope that helps. Hugh

    Hi Hugh, very excited as I'm starting my first batch of country wine this weekend, thanks for the videos. I had two questions with regards to the clearing and storage of the final product. At the moment the wine finings you use are out of stock everywhere in the UK but I'm assuming I can get hold of an alternative easily enough. How long do the wine finings last once you've opened the bottles? It would seem a shame if they were off by the time the next batch of wine is made, and a bit of a waste. Also, do you have any tips on storing the bottles of wine once finished? I have no cellar or suitable outhouse, would you recommend a wine fridge? Bless you.

      I have fermented out this wine to a dry finish that we like. If you prefer a sweeter finish, once fermentation is complete, there is a simple process called "back sweetening" that inhibits fermentation from restarting and gradually adds sugar back in until you get the level of sweetness that you prefer. I'm happy to do a short video on the subject if that would be interesting?

      Do you add the kwik-clear finings as soon as your brew stabilizes in the SG range of .99x (after any back-sweetens) and THEN age, add them in that range of .99x - let it sediment out - and rack - and age more, or do you wait to add kwik-clear until shortly before bottling?

      English Country Life, hi Hugh I have just been given a fruit press and mincer, so I have arranged with a local farmer for a batch of Kingston Black apples in October to make some hard cider, but as well as the pear wine to make with your recipe, do you have a recipe for pear cider, looking forward to your pear wine video because we have a very good amount of pears on the tree and can’t wait to pick them when ready to make some lovely wine and cider

      Hi Mike, I don't grow Perry pears so have never made it tbh. At the moment I have a consultancy client who is consuming a lot of my time during lockdown so Fiona is doing most of the videos. As soon as this engagement is complete I'll be back with a will! Hugh
