increasing sugar and water ti a kit

[johntheeng]

How would adding extra sugar and water to a kit that says fill to 4.5Ltr to make it up to 5Lt effect the body and strength. I think the extra sugar would hold the strength but am unsure about the body. Because I am new to the hobby any advice will be highly appreciated.

As you are new to the hobby i would advise you to make the kit as the instructions tell you, if you don't you will never know how a standard kit tastes and if the wine you make in the future is better or worse than it.

Paying money for kits then altering them is in my honest opinion a waste of money, If you want to experiment with wine cheaply have a read of this thread - viewtopic.php?f=41&t=39846
