It is normal. Wine goes through a lot of changes real quick when fermentation takes off and most of the time it smells like crap. It will be fine. Stay thirsty my friends.

I just started a strawberry merlot wine kit for grins tonight. I know it will finish as a semi-sweet wine. What are the recommendations on making this wine a bit sweeter? Sugar or conditioner? When to add it?
