Ages ago i got a Muntons Stark Naked Gammay and Solave(spelling?) at a knock down price.
Ive had them maturing for a while, red is ready to bottle as started a few weeks earlier, white i have just put stabiliser and finings in tonight.
So when i made the red i stuck to the instructions, its came out at 10.8%, ok.
The white wasnt the best og so i added some extra juice. Oops. Just checked and converted out to 25.4%! ****! I tasted it tonight, not too cloudy, pleasant smell, initial taste is good, then whammy, holding it in my mouth its like a spirit, slightly burning my gums! The mrs says it smells and tastes like sherry, but ive never had that so not sure.
Should i bin it or continue??
Always stick to the instructions, i know
