Hi All,
It's been 5 full days since we started our 1st batch, so I wanted to test the S.G.
The K-Meta solution we made 5 days ago has no sulphur smell whatever, (tried 3 different people to sniff it). Is it still good? Last Saturday I put 2 oz. in 1 gal. of water & kept the top of the bottle screwed on.
The "fizzing" is still ocurring in the primary fermenter, but very slowly.
I did douse the wine thief & hydrometer in the questionable K-Meta solution & tested the S.G.
It came out 1.004.
This tells me it's time to rack into secondary, but I don't want to do it unless I know I'm REALLY sanitizing the carboy, siphon, etc.
Any thoughts?
I'll have to check this thread tonight for any input. Been up for 17 hrs. now & it's bedtime!
Thanks, in advance.
