wine too sweet!! Help!
 
I believe that I mave the makings of a great Blueberry wine - with one small
exception . . . I have sweetened it up with too much sugar after stabilizing
it. Is there any other method other adding a very dry wine to taste, or
starting the fermentation process all over again?
I'm open to any and all suggestions!

Dan,
Try adding a small amount of acid. Extra acid will often balance a
_slightly_ too sweet wine.
Good luck,

It is hard to take it out after it is added. If you stabilized it, it is
very hard to take it out as you cannot restart the ferment. Of course if
you get a second batch going and then add it slowly you might keep it going
and get it to ferment down to something reasonable as the sorbate would be
diluted as well. Just be sure that the new juice is fermenting very well
before adding any.
