OK guys this is my very first post on the web site. I have been home brewing beer for a little over a year and I have around 20 batches under my belt. I have also made 3 batches of wine but they were all from kits, which turned out very well. As of today I started my very first batch of wine from fresh fruit. The recipe I used called for 6 lb of grapes, 6 pts of water, and 2 lb of sugar for a 1 gal batch. I had 38 pounds of Muscadines so I was trying for a 6 gal batch but I made a mistake. I don't know what the hell I was thanking but I added to much water. I split the grapes in half, used 2 buckets and added 3 gal of water to each, I should have used 2.25 gal each. I was trying for an OG of 1.100 but with the extra water I am at 1.070. Should I just go with what I have or should I add more corn sugar to get the OG up. I would like at add about another 10 pounds of grapes but I don't know if I can get anymore. Thanks for the help.
