I took by initial sg and it was low. I added 3 lbs of sugar to correct and bring up the Alcohol. Total must is 6 gallons. I went to check it again the next day only to realize that my hydrometer was cracked in the bottom and I bet that was why it was low. Is my alcohol content going to be way high no?. It is fermenting. I won't be able to get a hydrometer for a couple of days.

These kits do have a lower starting sg then the bigger kits so with the added sugar it will be somewhere around where a bigger kit would be, but may be a bit out of balance as the flavor profile of these smaller kits does not match up with a bigger kit either.
