Ok, I'm a total newbie.
I started with a "winexpert, island mist" kit, for my first because it's fast and a fail safe right?
Well not really.
So when I was on my 3rd step of adding all the rest of the ingredients and clearing additives I noticed it was at a very low level and so wanting to do the right way and have no head space, I added a bottle of white wine and like a half gallon of water, (I now know this was what did it.)
So now my wine is clear and ready to bottle but it tastes like water and only a hint of the pear/apricot.
When I test it, if I'm reading this right according to the chart it has a percent of 3.3 alcohol!
Is there any way to fix this?
Or is this my hard lesson?
