Hello all you experts... couple of questions:
I have a W.E. Luna Rossa kit in secondary. When I racked from the primary, it was at SG 1.002 and bubbling slow but steady (every 30 seconds or so). It had previously fermented very hard for about 4 days. Once I racked to the carboy, the bubbling quickly died out within a day or so.
A full two weeks later, my SG is 1.001 near as I can read it. Am I ever going to make it to 0.996 like the instructions call for? Is there any way to get things moving again?
I measured the temp tonight and it's exactly 72 degrees with my brew-belt. What could I have done wrong to cause this to stall??
Last question: The SG started for this kit started at 1.082. The ABV for this kit is claimed by W.E. to be 13%. How is that possible? It doesn't seem possible to me. I'm not complaining really, I tried a bottle of this wine from my retailer and thought it was excellent. I'm just wondering how a 1.082 starting SG can turn into 13% ABV. Marketing magic??
