After 28 days of fermenting, the sweetest, and most rank red wine known to man reads......1.120 spg! I still really have no idea what it was when I started unfortunately. But the ingredients were roughly equal parts juice (from fresh), water, and sugar. Yes.....WAAAY too much sugar.....I have no idea what the spg for that would be.
Mmmrfffff......
....
.......still tastes, as my boyfriend would say, " HELLA-SWEET ". It's gross. But is smelling more like wine everyday. It's definitely still fermenting.
As mentioned in other posts,

I bottled half of what I had in buckets on Oct. 20th, and put baggies/elastics around the tops of the bottles in case it was still fermenting. They are puffy, those little baggies. Still spewing their mysterious gasses.....
So, I'm wondering:
Should I just leave the wine in buckets still, or should I bottle this stuff the same as the others? Is there a crazy danger in not bottle-ing? Will it keep fermenting away if I bottle it? And also, when should I check the spg again?
Thanks everyone, for the great advice I've received on this forum. It has helped immensely, despite my thick-headed stubborn tendencies! I've sure had fun so far.....hehehehe........
