Pure Cane sugar: 2 1/4 cups = 1 lb. (10 lbs. = 4.5 kg) (12 lbs. = 5.5 kg) (1 lb. = 0.4536 kg)(7 lbs. = 16 3/4 cups )(5 kilos = 11 lbs. or 10 lbs. + 2 1/4 cups) (1 kilogram = 2.2046 lbs.) (1 lb.= 454 grams or 16 oz or .399 Imp qt)(kilo is the  abbreviated form of kilogram or kg)

Corn sugar: (Dextrose) 3 cups = 1 lb. (4 lbs. = 12 cups) (poor sweetening qualities)

Lactose: Non - fermentable sugar. (“Wine conditioner,”[do not use with kits], glycerine, glucose, and concentrates at 68 Brix make the best sweeteners.) At 68 Brix- use 150 ml to 1 L per 6 gal, before clarifying.

How to achieve a 22 Brix reading:     Check the first hydrometer reading then subtract it from 22.  Then add 1.5 to 1.6 oz. of cane sugar per gallon for each point of Brix short of 22.

Banana flakes: 57 g of banana flakes will replace 1.4 kg (3 lbs.) of fresh bananas. (adds body)

Oak chips: For red wines, use 60-120 grams (2 to 4 oz) for 19 liters (5 gal).  For white wines, use 30-60 grams (1 to 2 oz) for 19 liters (5 gal).

Notes:

Do not add Malolactic to sterile or concentrates.   Tartaric aids a dry finish to Ice wine.  If PH is 3.2 - sulfite can be as low as 50 PPM (especially fruit wines). If PH is over 3.4 sulfite should be 70 to 100 PPM.  Serve white wines at 52 deg. and reds at 68deg.
