Quite a difference from defractometer to Hydrometer. Thanks again cmason, I have read the information and the study charts you posted. Thanks again and the wine smells tremendous, Can't wait til to try it. Fred

Wow, I dug my hydrometer, cleaned and sanitized it. My sg with the hydrometer is 0.092. rechecked with the Refractometer and it is at 1.025. Thanks so much cmason. Looks like I am ready to stabilize and clear after all. LoL anyone need a refractometer jk

I have not stabilized yet. I want to get the SG below 1.000. I am at 1.027. All I did today was check the SG with a refractometer. checked with water = 1.000. cleaned and added the wine and the wine is at 1.027. I am hoping in a few days that it will be at 1.000 or less, so that I can stabilize...
