Hey all,
I am making my first batch of wine (using materials from one of those 1 gal. kits) and I left my wine in the primary fermenter (a big plastic bucket) for 2.5 weeks. When I checked the sugar level and alcohol percentage it said is was 1.000 and 0%. The recipe says that I should have transfered it closer to 2%, did I ruin my wine? Do I still need to put it in a container with an airlock? Am I even asking the right questions?
Thanks for all your help,
Lizzie
