Anything new on the SB? I just started a batch of the Wine Expert NZ Sauv Blanc this week, so I am curious on how yours is going.

I am on my second batch of WE Selection Vinter's Reserve Sauvingnon Blanc. The first batch was my first attempt at winemaking last year and I remember my anxiety at trying to ferment wine in a very cold basement. I wound up using a brew belt and think that I accelerated the process a bit more...

I am a super newbie at this, so I started with the Winexpert Selection Premium Sauvignon kit. I mixed it together and started fermentation on January 19 (my wife and I wanted to call the wine our “Inaugural White”). My staging area is in the basement, and as we live in Upstate NY, it stays...

So as long as there is some activity going in the airlock, I am still viable?

I am working on my first batch of wine, a Sauvignon Blanc wine kit from Selection Premium. I followed the directions, and had it in the Primary fermenter for 6 days, checked the SG and it was 1.02, so I waited a day and found it at .99, so I transferred it to my carboy. The secondary...
