Well I am back and just started my next batch-strawberry wine. I hope I did okay with the ingredients here is what i did. This is based off a recipe I found online.
12#strawberry
8 # sugar
2 tablespoons citric acid
added water to 3 gallons total
Well I am a goof ball and didnt add sugar according to the hydrometer reading but just added a straight 8#s. (hence my name) and when it was all said and done the SG was 1.2 which is high? So I added more water to get the SG down and am about 3.3 gallons with a SG of 1.1. I know this is a bit high but am I still in okay shape? would it be better to add more water to it and see if I cant get it down more? or just let it go? Please let me know if you have an opinion on this. And yes i do blame aldis for that cheap strawberry sale
