Ok, so im new to winemaking. The 2 batches i made from muscadines last year i used a natural yeast and didnt even know what a hydrometer was. I had some grapes left over from last year and decided to make a few more batches. I ordered the hydrometer and the test jar glass. I used the same natural yeast recipe as it turned out really good last time. Pulled the hydrometer and test jar out only to find the test jar broken!! So i ordered another one and got the quickest shipping but it took a week to get to me. It came in the mail yesterday. By yesterday my batches have been made up for a week and are in full swing. I went ahead and got readings off of both...will these readings serve any purpose or was it too late??? I guess i should have made sure all the supplies were not broken before i got started,,,lesson learned.
