so I began my first wine this past thursday, a Vino Del Vida chardonnay kit. I was looking at the kits instructions today, and realized I only topped off to the 5 gallon mark on my fermenter...the directions said 5 imp gal/6 US gallons and I just skimmed it quickly and only noticed the "5". my mistake didn't even register when my OG was wayyyy higher than it should have been. was not thinking clearly that day!
its been 4 days, and it's been bubbling away. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do at this point to remedy my situation...or will I just have a very high ABV wine?
also, if I leave it at the 5 gallon mark, do I need to adjust any of the other additives (suphite, potassium sorbate, etc)?
thanks in advance
