Hi I just signed up. I am from Washington and there is a huge amount of wild blackberries. I had made everything I could think of with my berries and decided to try wine. Yikes! I looked around on the Internet and found recipes. I am making about 5 gallons. I have racked it 3 times to get clarity. I just bought a hydrometer and it measures the SG at .99. When reading the instructions it says to do SG while fermenting, which I did not do. So now I have questions: 1) what do I do now since it's the first time I checked, 2) how do I know how much alcohol it has ( I tasted it and it tastes like wine), 3) how can I make it sweeter without fermenting it again, 4) how long can I keep the bottles before it is no longer good. I'd like to bottle it ASAP.
