Wine too sweet

[Nikki k]

Hi all. My wine has finished fermenting but is too sweet. Is there anything I can do to make it less sweet?

 

[Stevieboy]

You could split it, dilute and referment - what was the recipe ? And are you sure the ferment was finished ?

 

[MashBag]

Yup.. You sure it's finished?

It was a 7 day wine kit. Said ferment for 5 days I left it 7 and it still very sweet. Could I add more yeast and nutrient?

 

[Stevieboy]

Don't believe the 7 day spiel. No good wine was ever made in 7 days. Had all the bubbles stopped? what was the FG?

Ok thanks I’ll give it a go. It’s a 6 bottle kit. How much yeast and yeast nutrient do you think I should add?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I would give it half a teaspoon if you dont have nutrient it'll be ok.
