Hello all.
I was given about 80 pounds of grapes from an old local winery that has gone out of business. I was told they are ferdonia or Ives grapes. I have added sugar to adjust the sg to 1.090. Since I have found that they are similar to concord grapes in the wine making process, I probably should of diluted with water before fermentation. I did not. Now that the wine is finishing up the primary fermentation stage, I was wondering if I can add water post fermentation without affecting flavor too much. If I do, what should acid reading be at? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
