vermouth from red wine

Jul 28, 2004 4 Replies

I was told by a friend(who know it allJ: in order to make vermouth, after finishing making the wine, I should started again but make sure it has enough sugar in it to boost it up to 18%(the alcohol rate in vermouth) and add my spices and herbs after. Does that make sense?


Chris, I have sent you a copy of details that I submitted to Jacks web site. I hope this resolves what you friend, has told you. Stephen SG

Yes and thank you so much and it was with great explanation and before I save it on CD I had to formatted my hard drive, if you can send it again I would appreciate

Chris

Your yeast will probably be dead before you reach 18%. I would try to get the alcohol level up as much as possible, which will most likely be around

16%. After the wine is clear, you add your herbs. I don't see a point in "two-step-fermenting". Just keep going! Good luck!
