    Damaged kit

    It turned out that the inner bag was not ruptured. I believe that the leakage was coming from a poorly fitted cap. I am unsure if, or how, that may affect the wine. I guess that I will find out.

    Newbie Secondary fermentation

    Thank you. Really hope I don't wind up with sweet wine. I plan to upgrade to 6 gallon batches soon, so hope to get most mistakes in before the larger batches.

    Newbie Secondary fermentation

    Working on my 6th small batch wine, cab sauv. Primary fermentation was a fairly normal 7 days, however bubble/foam seemed somewhat short, about 48 hours before almost all activity stopped. Tasting the wine before transferring for secondary, the wine was sweet (SG 1.022). Now on day 2 of...
