Merlot from Beverdale Kit: FINISHED

A kit bought from a shop. Used red grape juice instead of water in the recipe. Small, 6 bottle kit.

SG = 1110 (quite high) Not fermenting visibly a day after. Hope it starts fermenting when I get back home after work.

Update: 2011.11.30 Yup, fermenting nicely now.

I really wonder how it comes out. Because I added grape juice instead of water it should be really red. The taste might be too sweet though. Maybe I should add some acid? I will add 1 small teaspoon of tartaric acid.

2010.12.26 - Racked and SG=1020
2011.01.22 - Racked and SG=1018
2011.03.29 - fermentation very slow or finished. Bit too sweet. Will need to kill it soon.
2011.03.31 - checked SG=1011
Stopped!
Really good wine, although due to adding juice instead of water it is too sweet. Could have used other yeast - for strong wines.
