accidentally fermented f-pack; add sugar for sweetness?

When starting 5 batches at once, in a moment of unclarity, I added the F-pack to a wineexpert white zinfandel at the very beginning. It's way to late to stop it from fermenting, but can I replace the sweetness with sugar?

And if so, how much?

thanks

I would email WinExpert directly, as they probably have this already done before. We all make mistakes - they are pretty good at assisting via email. They have helped me in the past within 2 days.

Some people prefer a DRY white zin. If so, just leave it. If you want to sweeten it, I would recommend wine conditioner rather athn straight sugar, although some use sugar.

I would GUESS that the included pouch would be equivalent to about

400ml of wine conditioner.

But as DAve already suggested, ask Winexpert.

I would be one of those--but this was the deliberately sweet "wife wine" to be served . . .

Time got in the way. I'd forgotten to deal with this a month or two earlier when I realized it.

I didn't even have that much time :)

I ended up dissolving a half cup of sugar in a bit of warmed wine; that got it just about right.

Thanks to all
