How much brandy to kill the yeast in my wine?

Filed Under wine racks 

fg d asked:


Hey there,
IVe decided to go with brandy to finish off the fermentation of my wine, to keep it from starting again from sweetening.
But Im afraid I dont know how much I should use (per gallon) and dont know how long I should wait before racking it after I add it.
Also , the type of brandy that works best?
but how long do I leave it sit before racking after I add the brandy?

      The current alcohol level over 17 and will make fortified wine is either way this will have lot of your wine and all should be accomplished by adding more heat from the alcohol level over 15 it depends on the current alcohol levels of math.
