To increase ABV in beers and wine during fermentation is a matter of adding more brewing fermentables
just don't add too much, wine and beer is all about balance. To much Alcohol will not make it taste better
just the reverse it will make it worse. This is more important with beer kits and wine kits, you can add almost anything that ferments
Honey, molasses, maple syrup just to name a few, best thing with a beer kit is to experiment with your home brew
We would suggest you keep the 1st brew the same and then changing up the 2nd brew
seeing what's happened, Just remember you can add more to the beer or wine you can't take it out once it's in the brew
