After months of reading forums like this one, I finally bought my starter kit today with a WE Reserve Sauvignon blanc kit.
I just sent the kit to primary fermentation except that right after I added the yeast I realized that I never "stirred vigorously for 30 sec" per the instructions...
Starting from the beginning:
I added water and bentonite, stirred well to prevent clumps.
I added the juice, water into the pouch to get the rest of the juice and poured into the bucket.
I topped with water.
* forgot to stir *
I took a measurement with the hydrometer: between 1.088 and 1.090 so in the range per the instructions therefore I didn't get any red flags that I forgot to stir...
Added the yeast and put the lid with air lock... and then realized that I didn't stir before the yeast...
Any advice? should I leave as-is or open the lid and vigorously stir?
Thank you...
