  CA. They have been in the bottle for a little over one week. I had a bottle last night, it was
  very good, b...

  Hi Fellas, I just bottled my Zin from grapes. I have a Rosso Fortissimo bulk aging which at 4

  Anodari, there is a difference of about a half gallon, 6.5 for the Italian and 6 for the "US"
  which is probably made in Mexico. To your original question, it sounds like your fermentation

  You probably...

  Just wondering, what was your initial and last SG reading? I suppose that fermentation could be
  complete but that would be really fast. You may be stuck. it was 1.090 in begining and at the
