Hi and thanks in advance for any help! I'm brand new to wine making and it's only my second batch. Last year's batch was essentially prison wine. So I'm trying to refine the process more this year.
I just started a 3 gallon batch yesterday. Yeast nutrient, pectic enzyme, and Camden tablets went in yesterday. Yeast should go in tonight. That would put moving to secondary (is that even the right term?) on Saturday. Unfortunately I just realized I need to be out of town this weekend though. So I'm wondering if it would ruin the batch to wait until tomorrow night (48 hrs after start) to add the yeast so that I can move it to the carboys Sunday night instead of Saturday, assuming it's at 1.03 SG by then. Thoughts?
