My wine kit directions state the first stage is 1-5 days, secondary is day 6-14, then stabilizing, degassing and clearing day 15-27. I understand these are suggested time periods and have been following my SG.
That said I noticed a steady trend that has now slowed. And I'm on day 11 but still in the primary fermentation stage. The wine is moscato, primary temp has been 70 degrees and SG is 1.020. Directions call for moving it to the carboy at between 1.010 and 1.020.
Is this normal? I'll wait another day if it's that important. And, lastly, I know the number of days is an average. But is it normal to be this far off their normals?
