Hey all... New to forum, new to the hobby..... I used the search to see if this had already been addressed - sorry if this has already been answered...
What: Winexpert Sav. Blanc Kit
Numbers: Start SG 1.0871 (Temp Corrected)
Move to secondary SG 1.020 (temp corrected)
Stabilizing & Clearing SC 0.9912 (temp corrected)
I have been following the instruction sheet pretty closely. No deviation.
Today I Stabilized/cleared and before I added the packs I drew some off and checked the SG, looked at it in a glass, and tasted it. It was pretty clear, and the SG was well within the range. My issue is with the tasting... It tasted a little watery but I could tell it was also pretty dry. It wasn't anything to get excited about but it did taste like wine...
So here is my question... Am I being a NOOB worrywart ? will the taste develop over the next few weeks of settling and then more so in the bottles... or should I expect it to be a little weak tasting? Numbers say ABV is 12.6, not worried about that aspect, I just thought I would have more flavor at this point
Any advice for a NOOB and his first batch of wine?
