Concerned the current batch may not be progressing. On Jan 14, I started with 6-(160oz) cans of Safeway grape juice concentrate, 64 oz Langers Cran/Raspberry Juice(premixed), 2 1/2 gallons of water and 5# of sugar, 1/2 tbls of yeast nutrient and 1/4 tsp s-meta. I shook the hell out of it for about 2 mins and allowed it to rest overnight. The next day I added one sachet of Montrachet which was hydrated @ 105dgrs for 15 mins. I poured in the yeast mxture without stirring. My starting SG was 1.10@80dgrs. It has been in a carboy without airlock at around 72 dgrs. Didn't notice an agressive bubble action, but there was some action, with little foam on top. Today the SG was 1.060 @ 72 dgrs.
Should have I expected the SG to have came down more after 9 days? Or should I just be a bit more patient? Should I pitch another sachet of Montrachet?
As always your input is appreciated!
