This was the Austrailian Cabernet Sauvignon with a brew belt, kept it around 70-72 F and now it has morphed into 30 bottles in the wine cellar (Dec.8/2011) :)

Thanks for the welcome and great info, I will use the spell check next time:)
Thanks again:)

I have stabilised my wine and degassed it, and have to wait 8 days as per instructions for it to clear, do I still need the heat belt or will blankets do? My wine temp before I wrapped it up in blankets was 69F approx. but with the heat belt it had a temp of 70-72F approx.
I am making Winexpert Austrailian Cabernet Sauvignon for the first time and I checked the specific gravity after 10days(Nov.11) and I needed 0.996 but I got 0.998 or 0.997ish. I checked it for the last four days and it has not changed. Do I have to wait until I reach 0.996 before stabilising and...
