I transferred my wine from the primary bucket to the carboy at SG 1.020 only 4 days ago. It seemed liked the bubbles in the airlock stopped so I took a SG reading. It now says 0.992. The wine still smells a bit unpleasant (not sure if that's normal at this stage). I admit there is a little extra room for oxygen (about the base of the carboy neck to the opening). Not sure if that is the reason for this quick fermentation. Should I rack the wine into a new carboy and start the stabilization or wait? I only worry cuz it doesn't really smell like a glass of wine i'd want to drink ; )
I should add, that after taking the reading, naturally the liquid in the carboy moved around a bit. Now that it's re-airlocked, I see there's bubbling again but definitely subtle. I tried not to move the liquid around too much.
note: this wine is made from blueberries and Lalvin 71B
