This my first batch of wine,apple. To recap:
In primary I started with Sg !.089
Day 3, I was down to 1.040.
Day 5, it was 1.002, I squeezed out pulp and transferred into a secondary.
I'm now at day 10 with an sg of 0.993. Is this going fast?
I was wondering when I should rack again, there is about 1 1/2 inch of lees in bottom of 5 gal carboy.
I also have started a second batch, that is going slower at day 5, but the apples were not ground as fine and i used different yeast. First batch I used lalvin 1118, in the second batch I tried 71b-1122.
