I started this kit Tuesday. After mixing everything together i checked the SG it was at 1.086 (seemed low to me) @ 65 Degrees
pitched the yeast Wednesday morning @ 71 degrees the SG had risen to 1.090
Wednesday evening there was obvious signs of fermentation but the specific gravity had risen again to 1.094 @ 72 degrees
each time i checked the gravity I spun the hydrometer to make sure there wasn't any bubbles holding it up.
Is this normal? Is there enough sugar in the grape skin pack to raise the gravity that much? even during fermentation?
I wonder what the final ABV will be? my calculations from 1.094 to .996 would put it at about 13%
Any thoughts?
Thanks
