I can discribe it as a total disaster. First of all no bubbles in the airlock, not enough %, was a bit scarred that would have to bin everything. Decided to add more sugar. 1.5 kg. Left for 3 days. After three days gravity reached 0.990. So it was enough for racking. I started drinking it on thursday: rather like a rocket fuel, very strong, no chardonnay taste. This is the problem when somebody want to be smarter then instruction provided. If there was no bubbles it doesnt mean that there is no alcohol inside. Will storage it in a bootles for few weeks and then decide to keep it or to bin it. So for the first time it looks like i have produced a wine with at least 16-17 % which is a bit too much
