Stablizer question

[JCMOMMA]

I woul like to stop fermentation on my blackberry wine as alcohol content seems enough, but I would like some sweetness as well. My yeast if up to 15% alcohol which is way more than I want. I tried to add stabilizer to one batch and it tastes bitter will this taste go away? Is adding stablizer the only solution to this ?

Place it in cold temps - that will stop fermentation as well.

What was your starting SG and what is the SG now?

You can ferment to dry and then stabilize and backsweeten to taste.

Yes get your wine cold and rack it now away from the lees. The high alcohol will help to curb fermentation. It is usually hard to stop a ferm. in the process but I think you could do that. Add sulfite when you rack.
