The Effect of Initial Sugar to Final Alcoholic Content Levels Sawyer French
How Do Sugar Levels Affect Alcohol? Hypothesis: If more Sugar is added to the initial juice, the resulting wine will have a higher percent alcohol
Vocabulary • Fermentation • Initial • Secondary • Potential/Realistic Alcohol Percentage
Concepts • More sugar means more possible fermentation • Different yeast creates different percentages of alcohol
Procedure • Fill bottle’s with juice • Add sugar • Test for Potential Alcohol • Add yeast • Seal with stopper and airlock
Procedure-1 Month Later • Unplug the bottles • Test for percent potential alcohol • Subtract from original • Evaluate Data
Revisiting Concepts • More sugar means more possible fermentation • Different yeast creates different percentages of alcohol
Conclusions • Rejected Hypothesis • Yeast and Alcohol • Limits to Fermentation • Distillation
Error • Measuring – Gradated Cylinder/Measuring Cup • Temperature – Controlled Insulation • Living Yeast – Too Bad
Extensions • Varying Yeast • Less Sugar • Temperature Variance • Distillation – If it was legal
