Ok, so today I went to see George. He and his brother are so nice!Bought the peach apricot chardonnay to start after I get my chianti out of the primary. Also, I got a thermometer. Came home, the must was a little cold 68F. Looked good, had that chunky looking stuff on top, I'm sure there is a name I am supposed to call it
. So, I leave for work tonight and put a heating pad around it on the side to warm it up in the 70's. Of course the hubby was supposed to call me at 7pm for a temp report, but he got side tracked doing the taxes
. I come home and open my lid, all the chunky stuff up top is gone and it was major bubbling and smelt a little different. So of course I got a little concerned, checked the temp, it was 76. And since it smelt kinda different to me, I thought maybe I should sneak a little to taste
. It tasted fine, really sweet (only day 2). SG 1.07 (I hope I'm reading right, was gonna have George show me today to make sure. The hydrometer seems very sensitive- gosh isn't there something digital?)
Anywho, if I did something dumb, just let me know. I did turn off the heating pad though.
Have a great night! Donna
