A good tip is to take your OG reading before adding your yeast.

Yeast energizer is more for a "stuck" fermentation. You might use a yeast NUTRIENT instead to feed the yeast through the process.

First time I tried this I got a stuck fermentation. SG was 1.150 a couple days later I had no choice but to cut with water. I dropped the SG to 1.100 and it took right off for me. I stopped fermenting at 1.012 to keep it a little sweet. I came in just under 12% and it was excellent. I'm going to start another batch today. The video is great, it was nice watching you make all the same mistakes I did. Lol

Hahaha thanks. Yes it’s been a learning process but fun. I may try Gatorade wine soon. My neighbor did it and it was really good.

@@HammerIIHammer that sounds interesting. Maybe I'll look it up. I brew much more beer than wine, but with the holidays coming up I'd like to have plenty of choices. 2020 has been rough. Beer and wine is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.

SG acceptable range is dependent on yeast. >1.1 is really asking for trouble with baker's yeast. Use a wine yeast instead (EC-1118 or Red Star equivalent). They will go like gangbusters.

You're supposed to measure your sugars with the hydrometer before you pitch your yeast...
