I have a question about my MM sangiovese toscano that I got on the mix and match special. It is the most expensive kit I have had and I do not want to screw it up.
I started this last Sat and the fermentation has been very active from day one. I do not recall taking the intial SG measurements. My fault. I did take measurements on Tuesday, day three and I thought it was around 1.060 so I thought I would give it more time to reach the needed stage of 1.040-1.050. So I took it today, day 5and it was 1.020.
There is still alot of bubbling going on even win the wine thief testing the SG, could the bubbles be pushing the hydrometer up giving me a false reading?
So what do I do now? wait until bubbling slows down to get a more accurate reading? I am in need of the forums wisdom
Thank you
Cindy
