Ok thanks I’ll also warm up the wine a bit

Checked the red wine it’s still 1.100 I can smell co2 and a bit of yeast but I don’t see any bubbles in the red or white Maybe the yeast died it’s already been 2.5 weeks since i started it I

Ahhh great video Clear as a bell now The wine actually has pretty good color and is clear

Ok I got it now I was reading it from the bottom Lol Makes sense now As the sugar decreases alcohol increases and hydrometer sinks because the liquid is not quite as dense because sugar is being depleted Thanks a lot Very good teacher

Now it’s just below where you indicated

No it started further up The hydrometer was turned a bit Just below the red at the 1.100 mark

This is my hydrometer

Thanks for your reply I didn’t know you add the 1 in front to get 1.090 I was looking at it as 90 The hydrometer also has markings for beer at the top The hydrometer reading is above the 1.100 mark I don’t see where the 1.000 is The hydrometer was higher in the liquid than a week ago Maybe i...

wine is in carboy 7 days ago it was 1.100 SG Now it is 2 tick marks shy of the 90 above the 1.100 I can still smell yeast and co2 Wife says it doesn’t taste the wine and said she couldn’t detect any alcohol

Lol my bad No idea how I managed to read it so wrong I checked it again It’s 1.100 nice yeast smell and quite the tingle in my nose when I sniffed it Alot of sediment on bottom It’s the pulp from the grapes I pressed it thru a cheese cloth Looks like bottom 4 inches

I pressed the Guiesenheim grapes today and transferred into Carboy Specific gravity is 1.001

Thanks I’m fermenting my first batch 10 gallons red 10 gallons white Hope it turns out

Thanks I hope to make award winning wine some day

Thanks Looking forward to the future I’m leaning towards a commercial winery But I need to do a lot of learning and experiments no with small batches to get a good wine I already have a name for the winery Oceanview Vineyards And yes it’s close to the ocean I can see it from my living room

Thanks Sounds pretty easy
