I am just finishing a La Bodega Port kit myslef. I was afraid becuase I got two bags of sweetener to add to it. One thing that caught me off guard was one bag looked like grape juice (very sweet/sugary) The other bag was VERY VERY sugary. In fact I had to squeeze it out of the bag like frosting into the port.
George contacted MM about this and they said it was becuaes the bag may have gotten down to 0*C. They said to add it and not to worry. I've had a few ports in my time and never had one this sweet.
I fortified the port with Brandy and Everclear to get teh ABV up to about 20%. Now when I try the port it is almost sugary. The SG tests at 1.060. Cany anyone tell me what thier SG is on the La Bodega Port kit?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
