Hi again - Posting in beginners because I just went to bucket/carboy wine making. I was using different equipment before.
I want to follow directions on my Winexpert kit pretty much until day 14, and at that time I will bulk age. However, I have a question. It says to wait 5-7 days and check SG. If it is at 1010, you MUST rack to secondary. OK - What if the airlock is still very active on day 7? Do I still disturb the wine and rack it, or wait till there is no airlock activity? I mean, is there such a thing of over-fermenting in the primary?
Thank you!
