Misjudged My Primary

[domw001]

I waited a bit too long on my primary and have just transferred to secondary at 0.992 SG.

It looks like I have also taken a lot of the lees with it.

There isnt a lot of apparent fermentation going on, I've not had any bubbles thru the airlock yet, and to be honest I dont really expect any at this low SG reading.

I was thinking of leaving for a week or two then re-rack to filter most of the sediment then stabilise.

(My first attempt at this wine-making game and, boy, am I on a learning curve)

Does anyone have any views on this?

Keep checking it with a hydrometer, thats the only way to know for sure.

Agreed.... measuring with a Hydrometer is the only way to know for sure. Although at that low of a reading you are at or getting close to the end. Try not to expose to the air to much if possible.

Do not try and filter this wine at this point or youll most likely clog the filter. Filters are designed to polish n already clear wine not to clear a wine. Only time and or fining agents will clear a wine.

What type of Wine is it ?

What Yeast strain did you use ?

What was the s.g. at the begining ?

How long did you leave it in the Primary ?

1. Real fruit Blackcurrant/Loganberry/Raspberry

2. A general wine yeast

3. SG at 1.092 before I added yeast

4. 7 days (6 with yeast, very low fermentation activity on last 36 hours before transfer to secondary)

Sounds like it's going fine. Check the sg every day for 3 days. If not changes add sulfites and sorbate. Are you adding an F Pack?

 

[domw001]

No F Pack or sorbates

This is going ultra-dry so just the sulfites.
