Brown sugar apple wine vs regular sugar
    #26976784 - 10/09/20 10:11 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

So I brewed a couple gallons of wine with some 48 hour turbo yeast by alcotek. Anyway its day 4 of brewing and I got dead yeast and very liltle bubbling. So I did one gallon straight brown sugar one gallon 50/50 and one gallon straight white sugar and I think the white sugar tastes stronger of alcohol. Brown sugar has a more bitter taste when fermented and white sugar has more alcohol. Im currently drunk and ima smoke some weed but homebrew is cheap tastes good and gets you drunk. I prefer white sugar what do you guys like? I read you can use corn syrup or other sugars too.

white sugar is refined , the bitter taste of the brown sugar comes from molasses (which is added to it).
if you are just making wines or beers i'd stick to regular yeast as the fast fermenting turbo yeasts generally produce more nasty by products - if you are not removing them with either carbon or by distilling you are generally going to get one hell of a hangover from it.

I dont get hangovers from it and I drank a lot. Yesterday I drank a whole gallon and passed out but no hangover. I just tried my grape juice wine and it honestly is the worst wine I ever tried I think its nasty I did purple grape juice and white grape juice and the purple tastes way better. Im honestly really suprised cause I prefer white wines.

I did another brew but didn't realize to put yeast in the fridge and its way less strong. I would say half as strong. Ima buy some wine yeast next brew and make sure to store it properly.

While I love the taste of brown sugar, I don't generally like brewing with it because once all the sugar has fermented you are left with something sort of metallic and unpleasant tasting. You could back sweeten with it but you'd have to use sorbate/metabisulfite to knock out the yeast.

I just got some Lalvin K1-V1116 yeast today and im trying a pineapple juice wine. I used a cup of white sugar per gallon. Ill let you all know if its good. Its probably going to take a while though cause its not a turbo yeast. The store was sold out of apple juice so ill work on a non turbo apple wine when its back in stock. At least I dont have to worry about the cloudyness of pineapple juice.

Country wines are pretty hard to mess up, sounds like it will turn out pretty good but probably a bit dry. You might want to look into staggered nutrient additions, it can really help to get high gravity fermentations (especially mead) to attenuate if you are having trouble. You could also just try vigorously de-gassing once a day during peak fermentation though be aware this could case it to overfoam in a carboy unless you have alot of headroom. A bucket is best for this. Good luck!
