Hello all, I started a Pino Noir 5 days ago and it hasn’t begun popping. I’ve been making wine for a few years now I have a handle on what I’m doing, to a degree.
This is however is the 1st time I‘ve used a heater (see attached picture). I drilled a hole in the lid the same diameter as the air lock hole and used the same size grommet. I crushed and welded a 14mm stainless steel tube, sterilized all. The temperature sensor gets inserted into the tube to provide temperature feedback to the controller.
The only other thing was the heater took longer to get to temperature than expected, it took several day. Could this be the issue?
I appreciate any help,
Thank you in advance
