Added raisins to secondary fermentation

[Eculligan]

Hoping I didn’t make a big mistake but I added raisins to the second fermentation in the carboy after my specific gravity reached 1.0. Now It seems to be fermenting again with bubbles coming out of the air lock every 5 seconds or so. Can just wait until the fermentation is complete at this point ?

The rasins contain sugar, so the fermentation will likely continue until the sugar is gone. Just relax and let the yeast finish the job.

Gosh thanks! I’ll try to relax . This is first making wine with grapes we grew ourselves. Hoping for the best

Fun fact: Raisins are about 2/3 sugar by weight!
