I decided to try a making a port wine. Not finding much info on it. Sure could use some advise. I took a Vino Vida Cab Sauv kit saving 1 gallon of concentrate as an F pack. The other 5 + quarts I mixed with a small 3 gallons of water and got a 1.084 SG. Then I added 1 pound of sugar. The master plan being to feed sugar until the yeast fails followed by as chill, rack, sorbate, and clearing.. ending with adding the F pack doing some math and fortifying with a young strong brandy and getting a finished 5 gallons of a sweet 20% Thick red port.Any advise or observation is appreciated.
