Just fooling around with grape juice from the store, while waiting for my kit Wineexpert merlot, to complete settling down and aging, I'm just impatient but thanks for the input, you guys are great for us beginners.

Can you put to much yeast in, and what happens, more alcohol, or yeast on bottom?

line 3.7 on the instructions say topping off the carboy during clearing process is not required, so I guess you have to top off when aging, would that be correct? California cabernet reserve Merlot

thank you

I made a mistake SG was 0.990

On day 14 it taste a little dry, and SG 0.999 is that OK, and it is fairly clear,as clear as merlot gets,Is it OK? wine expert California cabernet Merlot reserve

Thank you, I'll pay attention to SG

Thanks, I got a reading today of 1.010 , and that's only after 4 days, I'm going to keep stirring it every day until day 14.

THANK YOU!!!

but can i open it and stir? without doing any damage?

I read on this site that you should stir during fermentation, my instructions didn't say anything about this in my wine kit which is a merlot reserve, I thought you shouldn't open the bucket while it's fermenting because you would introduce oxygen , now what?? Winexpert California Cabernet Merlot.

thanks , I'm trying to hide the fact that I don't anything, so keep it quiet

This was on day one
