There has been a fair bit of discussion here and other forums where people have had issues with this kit. I started the kit myself last Saturday morning and was getting a bit concerned that I would successfully get it to completion.
Well, so far, so good. I've been on contact with Wine Expert as well and confirmed what I am doing is "the right way".
Anyway, I thought I would start a little log with progress on this kit...
Started it off last Saturday at 24c (75f). Pretty much followed the instructions to the letter. I've been testing the SG regularly. Instructions state it should be down to 1.015 within 5-7 days, but I found even keeping at 75f it still took 8 full days!
So, I just added the Chaptalisation pack... yes... in one go.... For now I am keeping to the instructions and WIne Expert tell me it should be fine adding it in one go.
The SG popped up to 1.028 after adding the pack yesterday and it's been bubbling away very nicely for the last 24 hours. So, I'm hoping (crosses fingers) it won't get stuck like so many people have experienced.
So, I'll see how we're doing in a few days. Wish me luck....
