Week help: Any home brewers out there?

Any home brewers out there?

I made my first batch of red wine about a week and a half ago. Its not much, only a half gallon but it turned out pretty good. It tastes a *little* sweeter then other reds I’ve had. My method is to put about a cup and a half of sugar per gallon in. Then add the yeast and balloon. After the success of my grape wine I’m getting a little more experimental. I’m making “iced tea wine”. All it is is decaffeinated preservative free iced tea mix with the water sugar mix, along with the yeast and balloon of course.

Any tips/advice for a fellow brewer?

I have allways wanted to try carbonating Iced Tea and necer got around to it, if your brew workstry carbonating it you may just have the next generaation of wine coolers.
P.S. I hate wine coolers but they make good money

Its really easy to carbonate it. The yeast puts off carbon as a byproduct, and it carbonates the liquid. You actually have to UNcarbonate it if you want flat wine.
