Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry. I don't know how to do that "Thread" thing that some of you have been asking people with Questions to do. I'm still leaning how to post. So what I did was cut and paste my 1st question.
___________________________________________________________
13 days ago I started my Renaissance Unlimited Edition Wine Kit.
I
completed the First racking on day 5 when my reading was 1.018. The
bubbles going through the airlock have slowed down a great deal.
On
Day 10 (Saturday) I got nervous and took a reading. It was 0.996.
Occasionally, now and then an air bubble will go through the airlock.
Yesterday, Day 12, I took another reading. Again it was 0.996.
Does this sound normal? I've never done this before so I don't have anything to compare it to.
___________________________________________________________
Today is Day 15 for me. I do occasionally see "dust size" bubbles come up to the edge of the wine. Also the air lock still bubbles now and then. I just took another reading and it was still at 0.996, the same as Day 10 and 12.
My directions said that fermentation is complete when the reading is .995 or less, and when no more bubbles go through the air lock. (around Day 20)
So far that is not the case. Like I said, this is my first experience with making wine so I have nothing to compare it to. That's why I'm taking a lot of notes of what I'm seeing.
Does anyone have any thoughts of how I'm doing?
Thanks again,
Larry
