Started a new wine kit today and the S.G. is not where it needs to be. The kit is Cellar Classic Winery Cabernet. I followed the directions to a "T". The temperture is 78 degrees, but the S.G. is only 1.080. The kit directions calls for a starting S.G. of 1.096-1.010. I didn't add the yeast yet till I get the S.G. right. Can I add more sugar to raise the S.G. Do I make a simple syrup? When I add the sugar will it raise the level of the juice and will there be enough room in the primary fermentor? Can someone help me? How much sugar ? Thanks, Bakervinyard
