Hi there,
On Saturday I harvested my Seyval Blanc grapes from the garden, and having kept the blackbirds off them I managed to fill a 5 gallon bucket with the bunches. Having spent a lot of time getting the juice out of them I ended up with about 6 litres, which I don't think is too bad for 1 5 year old vine.
Anyway, having measured the gravity, it's 1066 at 20c, which according to my book is about 8.8% alc. Is this enough, or should I add some sugar to get it up to 10%?
Thanks
Kieron.
