WineXpert Strawberry white merlot

[calvin]

Just about ready to bottle. It's my second kit ever. I followed the advice of many on here and added 4# of sugar to the primary other than that I followed the instructions exactly. I took a taste of it the other day and was not pleased at all. Kinda tasted like watered down rubbing alcohol. You guys think the taste will improve over time. I'm kinda bummed. I definatly don't want to pour it out.

Oh No don't pour it out, give it some time for the flavors to come around.

Starting gravity was 1.080

I stabilized and clarified @ 0.994

After I added the f-pack the gravity was 1.013

Does 1.013 seem to match the sweetness of other island mist kits?

Nevermind my last posts. This turned out better than I thought it would. If I do another one of these kits I won't add as much sugar. My wife loves it and I made it for her. She is very impressed!

I'm really hooked now. I have a winexpert pinot Gris to bottle and a dragon blood in primary fermentation.
