Hi,
I have read most of this forum, and have learned a LOT. I am 4 days away
from bottling my first Vintage Wine Kit (Shiraz). I sneaked a taste, and
wow, it's great.
I am trying to use a Vinometer to figure out alcohol levels, but can't
seem to understand how to use it.
I put funnel end up, put a little wine into it. When it reaches the
bottom and a drop falls out, I turn the vinometer upside down and place
on a flat surface. Suppose to show a "thermometer type" red indicate on
the alcohol level. For a store bought that claims 13%, I'm reading 5%.
But if I wait long enough, the red goes all the way down and onto the
counter.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? any web URLs that shows this
better, I looked with Google and didn't find one.

thanks. DAve
