Making my first strawberry wine. Pitched KIV-1116 yeast on Thursday at 8pm after first 24 hours of the strawberry/pectic/etc. mixture sitting. Must has been at approx. constant of 75 degrees since then.
My recipe says to rack once SG has reached 1.03 which should take 5-6 days.
I started at 1.09 Thurs., was at 1.06 last night, and tonight at 1.04, so I'm expecting to hit 1.03 tomorrow, which will only be 4 days.
Does this mean my yeast has been working THAT efficiently and I'm just ready to rack ahead of schedule, or is something wrong? Is the must too warm?
Thanks in advance!
