I've loosely followed this Jack Keller recipe:
http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques74.asp It calls for a primary fermentation of two weeks, but after 5 days of vigorous fermentation my SG is down to .990 and it's about to go still. I'm inclined to transfer to secondary. Should I not? Back information: I've got about 10 years experience making grape and fruit wines. I deviated from the recipe in two ways: 1. I started with about 2/3 of the sugar and an SG of 1.064 then blended in the rest of the sugar after the fermentation was robust. 2. I used niagra grape juice instead of raisins. Lastly, I used Red Star Pasteur Champagne yeast and the primary sits in a temp controlled water bath at 70F. Tim |
