thanks I posted before I researched
I just looked it up on the internet and see now that juice has a lower SG than water so everything makes sense now
I'll be racking into the secondary fermenter tomorrow
wish me luck, I hope I dont screw it up now
I measured the SG today and got a reading a little over .99 this is the first time I've ever done this but I didn't think it could be that low. I know temperature can have an effect on the reading but the must is at romm temperature (65-70 or so).
Is it common to see SG readings under 1.00?
Thanks for the speedy replies. I plan on checking the SG this weekend. I was told to keep it in the primary fermenter for 2 weeks. However If the fermentation is slowing can/should I move it to the secondary fermenter?
Started my first attempt at wine making last weekend
Using rasberries I got everything going good. 1 gallon batch in a 5 gallon primary fermenter.
Everything seemed to be doing good. Bubbles were coming up through the airlock slowly at first, then on day 3 and 4 things really picked up...
