hi....please tell me if must, when it has mostly sunk, after 5 days if it sizzles and bubbles a lot when u stir it. almost like acid...so different from when it had a cap on it.
well mine already had a lot of pulp/seeds on the bottom that sat through the whole process it was cooked and pressed chokecherries (little left in em).. and the other third was fresh/frozen saskatoons which seemed to be more on the top although some chokecherry seeds did rise to the top as well. I am 5 days into this after adding yeast.
when this happened I freaked as it seemed like it was turning to acid and took some of the stuff from the bottom out. this was an hour ago, don't know if there will be more bubbles at all.....but on the top there was little anyhow,
my sg is likely very close to 1000 now and alcohol is 12 percent. starting sg 1090.
I can still throw the must (mostly seeds and pulp) back in, if advised!! I still have at least half must in there (more saskatoons and pulp). I am getting the idea that its time to rack to secondary tomorrow but want to know if its normal for must to sizzle and bubble so.
