I have been "testing" it as I go, and it is a little sour but I kinda like that. Don't think I gonna add all of the sugar recomended because it tasted so good with just a little. My ? was how long "after" stabilizing,sorbate,etc can you taste or dosen't it matter? By the way its clearing great and everyone who's tested it loves it. I new to the winemaking but shes got her hooks in me good. Thank orf
