I ginned up a recipe using 9 ea. 12 0z cans of concentrate, added enough water to make 3 gallons and used enough of the water to make a sugar solution to bring the SG of the total 3 gallons of must to 1.082. After adding my yeast starter and 1 1/2 tsp. of yeast nutrient I left it in the primary for 5 days. When I checked the SG today it was at 1.000 so I racked it to the carboy. Fermentation appears to have stopped already as the air lock isn't pushing bubbles. I took a small sip and the yeast seems to have consumed most or all of the sugar.
Is it common for the SG to go from 1.082 to 1.000 in 5 days? Also it tastes sour or acidic at this point.
I've only done kits prior to this and it seems as if the primary fermentation went too fast?
