I started a new batch in a 3 gallon carboy with juice. Took a hydrometer reading of 1.082. Ive read and been told you should stir it 1-2 times per day in the early stages.
I started this batch on the 10th. But for some reason activity started on march 15th (never had a delay like that before). Been stiring at least once per day since the 10th, sometimes twice per day.
My questions:
1# How vigurous or long should this stiring be? Ive been doing a normal calm back and forth for about 30s to stur out some gas and mix in the lees. Good enough?
2# When do I stop this daily stiring so I do not risk oxidation?
