Hi everybody,
I currently have a Kenridge Classic 30 bottle batch brewing. I've been following the instructions on this brew. The temperature has been a constant 22-23 Celsius. The starting SG was 1.080. The instructions said to do this primary ferment for about 7days with it going down to a 'target' SG of 1.010, then racking to a carboy.
I did a hydrometer test on day 6, but was surprised that the reading was already down to 1.000.
I racked off to a carboy and fitted it with an airlock and the fermentation is carrying on just fine. The rate of fermentation was a bit of a surprise to me – maybe I should have checked with the hydrometer earlier than day 6. The FG for this wine is a target of <0.995.
Will this faster fermentation be detrimental to the end product?
Many thanks,
David.
