I am bottling my first wine right now a grand cru pinot grigio and when trying to take a final gravity reading it is floating below the numbers. The instructions said to fill the carboy after clearing and stabilizing with water up to a inch or two below the air valve so i am thinking maybe it is too watered down? It does not taste bad at all. It definitely tastes like pinot but maybe a tad watered down. I figured for my first kit i would follow instructions exactly and for my next kit i have a smaller carboy of 5 gallons so i will not have to top off as much. I used a 6 gallon one for this. Any ideas??? Thanks!
