Oh and if you "stabilised" too much, I'd guess that there wouldn't be any residual yeast cells to turn the priming sugar into bubbles, so you might think about that some!

well I'm happy now, because I got a pack of beer bottles, caps and a capper this afternoon.
Which goes with the dextrose that came from Hamstead Brewing Centre this morning.
So I'm gonna bottle my first gallon tomorrow. I'm just hoping that it tastes as good as I'm led to believe from the reports in this thread.

if it isnt stabilised and you top it up with fermentable sugars it will start fermenting again.
two ways to proceed, if it isnt stabilised, and you want it sweeter....top up with non fermentable sugar, or add sugar once the bottle is opened and poured (yes really)N.G.W.B.J.

ok thats for that, another quick question,,,ive took a SG reading and its showing at the start,,,SG 1,050 i think thats how you read it. can you tell me if this is the correct reading ive done , what do,s it mean? as in alcohol reading,,,also in need of sugar or not. the hydrometer is the only part of wine making i just cant understand.

if you are priming for "fizz" then you will have to sweeten with non fermentable sugar or the sugars will be fermented out, get some wine sweetener from your home brew shop, or use sweetex.
which bit is it ypou find confusing?
its important to me that the tutorials work for the members, so if they are difficult to understand, they need tweaking, please read through it and let me know which bits arent clear
cheers
