Raising Residual Sugar.

Oct 12, 2003 1 Replies

I want to raise the residual sugar in a dry pear wine (one gallon batch) to between 2-4%. I have my Potassium Sorbate. How much sugar do I add to get the RS up 1% per gallon? Thanks Will


You need ~ one gram of sugar per 100 ml of water for 1 %. There are 3785 ml in one gallon. Therefore, you need 37.85 grams (1.34 ounces) of sugar per gallon of water
