I racked to the jug this morning with 1.014<<1.03 last night. I had stallded it out on thursday. I started it in the garage but the tems dropped and stayed down enough to brief stall. I brought (snuck) it into the house and it sped up a bit. My wife makes me do the heavy fermenting outside. She got sick from other batches I did in the house.
I noticed that it is foaming into the airlock. I changed thew water and let the foam in the headspace go down, but it started up again. Should I take action? If so, what would you suggest? I'm pretty sure this will be short lived, maybe 24 hours or less.
Directly behind and slightly right is a beer bottle full of the same wine, that is bubbling but not foaming.
My other projects in the shot are 2 jugs, 1 and 1/2 gallon of blackberry that is now two months into bulk aging.
The others are my first attempt at home brewing, Amber Ale.
And the last is two quarts of peach that are gong to be my top up bottles for a 5 gallon batch that will winter over in the garage.
Not in the picture is a Chardonnay kit that is in secondary getting the "buttery chard" technique. 12 bottles of that will be made into sparkling wine.
Happy days are ahead.
