Has anyone fermented fresh pinot noir grapes? I'm looking for average fermentation length. Kits have all been about 14 days and while I can check the SG I was hoping to know beforehand what fresh grapes might take. Any takers? I'm looking at about .996 for final SG for my rose. thx

The fermentation time will mostly a function of the starting sugar, temperature you ferment in and the yeast you use. I would say the biggest contributor being the ferment temperature. If you can control that, you can have a long, slow fermentation.
