I am making my first wine that is not from a grape wine kit. It is a wild berry wine made primarily from huckleberries, but also has thimbleberries, wild raspberry, and blackberries. I measured the starting gravity at 1.094 after the sugar was added. It was a little difficult to get started, but fermentation finally kicked in. I started it over a month ago. The gravity is now 1.026 and seems to be holding steady there. It is my understanding that the fermentation shouldn't stop until it is under 1.000. I am worried that I may not have done my original gravity readings properly because I wasn't used to sampling juice with mashed berries. If my original gravity was way higher than 1.094 by accident would the final gravity stop at 1.026? I tasted the wine how it is, and it seems to taste good. It did not taste sweet.
Any suggestions on where to go from here. Thanks for the help.
