fast fermentation

[redderthebetter]

Can anyone see any problems with a 1.5 gal batch of blackberry that started @ 1.11 and after 24 hours with yeast was 1.06 and after 48 hours(tonight) is 1.024? My primary fermenter is a 2 gallon pitcher covered with a towel. The temp is pretty much ambient with the house (75-78). At this rate it should be below 1.00 tommorow. I suppose I will let it ride till the weekend and rack to secondary.


I had one other fruit wine that went dry in under 7 days and it was fine. Is there any schools of thought on speedy fermentation? Or is this a reward for my blueberry struggles this spring?

With the heat we have been having here in Texas, fermentations will go really fast. When the SG gets to 1.010-1.020 just go ahead and rack it to the jug.

Geo gives good advice. Rack it, and ride out the storm, albeit a short one. You'll have wine regardless.
