This is my current beet wine project, and I'm wondering two things... Is this stuff ever going to get below 1.000?? And, is there such a thing as must sitting too long in primary, covered of course with a cloth, if fermentation is still occurring? Thank you, all :)

7/29 - 1.090 SG
8/1 – 1.077 SG
8/2 – 1.067 SG
8/3 – 1.062 SG
8/4 – 1.050 SG
8/6 – 1.032 SG
 
that is actually a nice easy fermentation, i prefer a slow one/like yours over a fast one. Typically , for me fermentation takes, on average about 10 to 12 days to ferment dry...I think your in good shape.
You did not say what yeast you use, some are more prolific then others.
 
Awesome. I'll chill out then, and let it do its thing. Yeast is Lalvin Bourgovin RC 212.
 
RC 212 is a slow fermenter...just give it some time and a little elbo room.
check your temp of the must daily...do not want to let it get to hot,
