There is a good chance I messed up a batch of Sun Cal White Zinfandel. This is my first batch and as I was making it I ran out of one item and substituted another. Recipe for disaster? I was hoping you would know. Its been 12 days now and it looks like the fermentation stopped. I don't see and bubble action with the air lock.
THE SG:
... Started off at 1.7
... was 1.2 when I moved it to the carboy after 7 days
... now its holding steady at .99 or so
Distilled Water:
Yep. I didn't hear you weren't suppose to do this until today.
Acid Blend:
Recipe called for 3oz but all I had was 1.5oz? What can I expect?
Campden Tablet:
I did have this so I put 1/4 t of Sodium Metabisulphate. Is this ok?
Should I discard this and try again? Or are my mistakes not too bad?
