Good day all,
3rd time making wine, would like to know if my readings are ok so far.
10/9 started Syrah in fastferment conical from 6 gal juice pail. Starting SR was 70.
10/23 SR is now 0.996.
Did not rack yet (clean out bulb).
If readings are good, what next?
Using juice that came in 6 gal bucket. I have a hygrometer. I'm using the fast ferment (see photo). I may use clarifying agent when done, not sure at this time.
I did not check gravity.
No yeast.
Cabernet Sauvignon. No kit.
72 deg.
Did not check gravity yet, should I now?
Is that ring mark shown a normal occurrence?
Thanks in advance.
I started my process on 10/10 and less than 2 weeks later I see this. Fermenting process was normal, aggressive in the beginning and dwindling as days went on. Now I see no movement and the ring shown. Is this normal?
Thank you for the tips. Today is day 21 the SG barely moved, 1.013. Last week was 1.015, did what you recommended and closed the valve and hit it with the degasing wand on a drill for a short time. I will check SG in a couple of days and see if I woke anything up. If no movement, I will add...
