Hi all I am a new member although I have been getting info from this sight for a long time
I have made several batches of wine including
concord,blackberry,banana,banana-
berry,pear,and Apple all from fresh fruit
So I do have a little experience but still learning so much !!
On to my question I have a 5 gallon carboy of SP that just hit the dry side of my hydrometer and will b degassing as soon as I am sertan it is finished fermenting
this will b my first time degassing a wine I have always let them do there own thing and rack when needed over a course of 6 months till bottle time but I am trying to finish this wine as fast as I can to see how I like it and if its gonna b my new go-too summer drink and make more
Do I degass as soon as it is stable and not dropping further on the hydrometer ? even though the air lock is still bublimg slowly ? Is this just c02 that needs degassed? Cause all my other wines look this way for a week or 2 after they stable out on the hydrometer ?
Any help explaining this to me will b very apretiated as I plan to start some dragon blood next week and see which of the 2 I like more lol it may b both by all the good things I hear about these wines
