Last night Karen and Glen forced us to drink beer with them at Sierra Nevada. We discussed the winemaking, and of course I was doing it all wrong. So we took a hydrometer reading, then added a lot more sugar so the yeast could make enough alcohol. We used up all my sugar, and all of Karen and Glen's, and even some ancient stuff Rick had from brewing days. Apparently it doesn't go bad. We melted the sugar in hot water before adding it. We put in 14 more cups of sugar to go with the 2 cups of honey.
We also took it out of the carboy and put it in an open pot, so it could do the primary fermentation with lots of air.
By this morning, it was nice and foamy. I've been stirring it several times a day.
