I recently fermented peach wine from a recipe. I used fresh peaches. The recipe stated the SG should be 1.030 when I removed the fruit after one which it was and the ending SG should be around 1.000 after about three weeks and the fermentation was done. This also was where mine stopped. By my calculation the % of alcohol figures to be a little less than 4%. Here is my problem...the wine has a somewhat distinct alochol taste and leaves an alcohol burn in the throat. It smells and tastes like peach otherwise. What did I do wrong? Thanks for any and all replies.
