I'm just over 1 week into making my first ever wine kit. It is the WineXpert private reserve williamette pinot kit.
The directions were quite a bit less detailed and less thorough than I was hoping for, mainly here during the primary fermentation.
It gives very detailed instructions on how to get it all started on day 1, ending with "Add yeast, put lid/airlock on fermenter, and keep 68-77 degrees".
The very next step is called "Day 14 - Stabilizing and Degassing", but there is a chart that says Day 14 S.G. should be < .996
It is currently Day 8, and I am already at .996 S.G.
Do I wait until Day 14 regardless of my S.G. already being at the so called "target" for day 14?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
