It's my first crack at making wine. I have started a kit of Pinot Gris. Yesterday was day 12. The instructions say to check the SG to ensure fermentation is progressing, so I do. My SG is at .994. Is this OK? Should it be this low now?
At day six I checked SG and it was only at 1.03. The instructions said not to rack untilSG was 1.020 or less,so I waited until the next day. It then read 1.012 so I racked into the carboy. Was this correct?
The instructions say on day 20 to make sure fermentation is complete, and the hydrometer should read .995. Do I wait until day 20 to complete my second racking??
Thanks in advance for any help for this noob!!
