Test for total acidity. If the acidity is less than 0.65%, add enough tartaric acid to bring it up to that level. If you have a pH meter, calibrate it and test the pH as well.
Test for sugar with your hydrometer. Correct any deficiencies by adding enough sugar to bring the reading up to 20° Brix. If higher than 24° Brix, add water to lower it between 20° and 24°.
