Tweaking Naughty Merlot?
I recently bought an IM Naughty Merlot kit. I would like to boost the body and the ABV just a bit.
No bananas in my pantry and nearest grocery store is 45 minutes away.
A can of Alexander Merlot concentrate has been sitting on the shelf for a while and is in need of being used.
My thoughts are to bump the SG to 1.095 or 1.10 with half the fpac and some simple syrup if needed and add a liter of the Alexander concentrate.
I might add some raisins and tannin to secondary.
Does this sound like a good approach?
