I have determined that I have a leak in my 6.9 gal fermenting bucket. The last couple batches I did I thought I had a wicking problem with the cover cloth when it drooped into the top of the wine. But the last batch I made totally sticky grossed out the fleece blanket I had over the heating pad. So now I"m trying to figure out if those wines are ok or not. They have been meta'd and racked a couple times now. They taste fine. Any opinions?
I'm certain it leaks. It's just a dark mark crooked short line visible on the bottom of the bucket that has to be the culprit. I took a clean dry dishpan, put it in the sink, sat the bucket in it and filled bucket with water. Sure enough when I checked later there was water in the pan.
