Hello all,
I started a Pinot Noir 28 day kit from Vino on May 24. The wine is fermenting. But it is now almost 3 1/2 months fermenting. The last hydrometer reading I took on May 24 was 1.050. I just took another one today and it was definitely below 1.000. However the wine keeps fermenting, albeit very slowly. it takes a few minutes for the air lock a few minutes or more to bubble but it will not stop after 3 months. the final step in this kit is to add potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfate but the directions clearly state not to add those until fermentation is definitely stopped. I tasted the wine today and so far i think it tastes pretty good. But it won;t stop fermenting. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
