Help with strawberry

[bandit081]

Made 3 gallons of strawberry recently and I have racked it, stabilised and de gassed it. It is clearing nicely and has a lovely colour but OH MY GOD its sharp, never experienced this before but it tastes a bit like strawberry flavoured nail varnish.
It brewed to about 14 % but WOW sharp aint the word for it, any ideas?

Okey dokey I think ill bottle it and cork it and label up saying dont drink until next summer lol, thats the only problem with drinking so much WOW it makes you think all wines are drinkable in 3 weeks lol

Country whites usually take 3-6 months to become drinkable, Reds 6-12months.

That's why I always have a few gallons of supermarket juice wines on the go....hic

Edit: I store mine in bulk using 5ltr water bottles, think there 99p form most supermarkets
