Well I'm approaching my 10th day in the scondary, 8th day today. I have followed the Instruction and tested Spgr. Its looking good and in range right now but I have to wait according to the instruction a 2nd day for stability. So I'll be checking again on Wednesday. I did clean and sanitize my equipment before grabbing the sample. During this process I dripped of course on accident a drop or two on my finger. With out waiting to clean the drips up with a towel, I of course with reflect motion licked it off my hand. HeHehah Man it already tasting good and I have about 5 more weeks before I can even begin to worry about placing this Fine Wine into a bottle. If the progression remains constant this will be a very good wine. Thanks George
