I have Master Vintner Cabernet Sauvignon classic kit. 6 Gallons. My starting SG was 1.091. I racked to second fermentation on Day 6 w/an SG of 1.014 and added oak chips as per the instructions. The temp has been pretty steady around 70. Today on Day 8 the SG was .996 w/ consistent bubbling...

Ok that makes me feel better. Thank you
