Hello
I have two questions actually but first some background info on my batch of wine.
Its in a 50ltr demijohn right now, been there since sunday with airlock on and bubbles have calmed down dramtically. This is my secondary fermentation obviosuly as its airtight right now.
1) Can i take the airlock of every now and then to take a hydrometer reading or will it spoil the wine?
2) Can i rack this wine to another 50ltr demijohn right now or should i holdoff on that.
It currently sitting in my garage at about 22 celsuis.
I have instructions and they do say to rack it but after about two eekd in the demijohn,im just concerned its gonna saty in with the sediment too long
Thank for the advice yall
