I started a batch of cranberry wine made with fresh cranberries. I found a recipe that didn’t look complicated. It is: Fresh cranberries, sugar, dried cranberries, yeast nutrient, Lalvin D47 yeast. Starting SG 1.090. It fermented well in the primary. wrecked it to the secondary when the SG was 1.040. I did not use any Camden, or degass it as it wasn’t in the directions. May be a mistake? It’s been in the secondary for 6 weeks and the SG is 1.010. There are still fine bubbles rising. The directions are pretty sketchy from here. I do need to rack it again as there is about an inch of sediment in the bottom.
1. should I add the Camden when I rack it to a new container to slow down the fermentation?
2. The wine tastes pretty good, it’s a little bubbly, pretty color, and I don’t want it anymore dry. I may add a bit of sweetener later.
3. I just am not sure where to go from here, do I rack it, and then bottle at after a week?
Thank you for your responses,
