Hello,
I am new here to the forum and have started my first kit a VR Cabernet Sauvignon. (completely new to wine)
So far its been racked into the carboy and I am 4 days into the 10 to wait to add the clearing agents etc.
Everything has been fine up to now. Good measures, extra clean etc.
Here is the question: I have about 3/4" of loose yeasty sediment and the flow of bubbles has nearly stopped. Down to one the size of a half a pea every 5-6 seconds and no more masses of tiny bubbles flowing up the neck.
During the primary it cooked several big bubbles about every three seconds like a coffee pot. I know a small amount of oakdust went through, but it looked like almost all of the oak package was left over in the primary.
Is everything OK? Am I worried about nothing? Is this Newbie panic?
Thanks.
