Well lets make this the only mishap in the year 2007.
Yesterday I asked the question, with wade answering, about the MM Amarone I've been working with. The instructions saidon the 12th day take the S.G.........and alsothe 20th day.... making sure that the fermentation is complete. Fermentation is completewhen S.G. reaches .995 or less and no bubbling. I took the S.G. onthe 6th day and found a .990. Taking it twice so as not to misread the hydrometer and there is no action in the carboy.
With Wades thankful help, it was decided to wait until today and read it again. If the reading is the same or lower I should go ahead with the racking, and add the additional ingredients. Not to worry!
Today as I started to get my supplies ready I dropped the hydrometer. BROKEN!
Not having another. Do, I go ahead and rack adding the additional ingredients for the next step. There is no action in the carboy.
Or do I wait until I can get the hydrometer from George through the mail? Probably should receive it by Thursday or Friday if i get the order in today/tomorrow.
