Hydrometer vs. Vinometer

[JohnT]

Vinometers are not worth the cardboard box they come in!

Try bringing it up to 23 to 24 degrees.

Today the bottle is fizzing [emoji4] is that a sign of fermentation ?

 

[JohnT]

Yes, that is a good indicator of some form of fermentation.

 

[Frjen]

Fantastic [emoji4] how low sg should I try to get ?

 

[wpt-me]

I would try to get to .995 or a little lower, But anything below .998 is good imho.

[Frjen]

I have a fruit wine eith an SG 1.090 and FG 1028 which I have caltulated to be somewhere between 8 - 9 %, but when I use the Vinometer it reads 15 % ????

Any ideas ?

a vinometer is very good. But doesnt work that way. You are testing a wine that is not clear and has CO2 in it. Then the vinometer doesnt work.
