1 In the 1830s, Kit Carson hunted game to supply Fort Davey Crockett, on the Green River. 2  The John Jarvie Ranch gives visitors today a taste of what homesteading was like in Daggett County. 3  Cattlemen and sheepmen fought over the grazing in the area.
To get around these nasty but accurate equations simpler equations have been developed but they are only relevant for a small range of alcohol content. Wine, typically has an alcohol content of around 11-15% while beer is usually around 5-6%. Because of this they each have their own alcohol content equation based on these different ranges of alcohol. In short be sure that youâre using an equation specific to wine making. A beer equation can lead to incorrect results. The Wine Alcohol Content Calculator. The simplest way to calculate your alcohol content is with a calculator. Youâll need to know your starting or original specific gravity that you took before fermentation began. Also, youâll need the final specific gravity taken once your wine has finished fermenting and is stable.
Step 4: How much wine will this make? A ton of juice typically yields about 165 gallons of juice or must. Depending on your system for pressing, and losses along the way, the final amount of wine may be closer to 155 gallons per ton. Other measurements of interest: A standard wine barrel contains 60 gallons. A case of wine contains 2.38 gallons. A half ton macrobin is great for small scale red winemaking. You can pick 1000 pounds of fruit into it and easily move it in the back of a pickup. After crushing you can ferment and punch down appx.70- 80 gallons of must in the same bin. With light pressing this will yield 1 barrel, plus 10 gallons for topping the barrel. For this example, assuming you produce 1 ton of grapes, you can expect 155 gallons of juice and wine. You need 2 barrels for storage, along with some smaller containers. Your final production should be about 65 cases of wine.
