After making my first batch of wine i decided to my first lager kit and went the Coopers European lager
put "everything" into my 26l FV, put the lid on, bung and airlock in and stood back to admire my handywork..
Doh !..... i'd forgotton to add the suger
took the lid back off, added 1kg of brewers sugar and stirred
the kit instructions said give it a week but read on here to give it two so i did.
its now 14 days later so i though i would test the FG and its 1010, OG was 1021 so that gives 1.5%abv
did i maybe read the FG wrong, did that fact i put the sugar in last bugger things up, is there anything i can do to redeem things
any advice gratefully received, as you can tell i'm a real novice
