If you can read newsprint through the carboy it is probably fine.

I got it bottled over the weekend. I took 1 cup of water heated it with 1/4 cup sugar and a bit of lemon juice. Once that cooled I swirled in the sorbate. I took one bottle out of the gallon as unsweetened and then poured in the invert sugar and bottled the rest. There was a 1/2 bottle left over so i just chilled and drank that.

tasted like wine.. never had raisin wine before so i have nothing to compare it to. I imagine it finished out in the 12-14% ABV range. The alcohol was definitely there but not harsh or unpleasant

Well sad to say I drank the last bottle a couple weeks ago.. it was palatable around 9 months but 2 years and it got really good.. I wish I had made more.
