Ok Today I got a bit of a surprise. Checked the SG on a 3 gallon batch of Black Currant wine that just finished fermenting. (Started Fermentation on 28 May.)
The number surprised me so I did a retest and took photos to get help confirming what I'm seeing.
The reading was .987 at 70 degrees
I checked this with a test of distilled water and that read .998 at 78 degrees. Doing a temperature correction the .987 doesn't change but since the hydromenter was calibrated for 68 degrees that makes the .998 corrected to .999.
I've not had but one wine before that even looked like it was under .990.
Anyone see anything in those photos different than what I'm reading/seeing?
