I am brewing some Plumb wine and really need some advice.
This is my first time and I have fermented on the Pulp in a bucket, a gallon of plumb wine (using greengages from a tree in my back garden) for about 6 days. It produced a nice thick cap and I stirred it every day (usually twice). I neglected to take the gravity at the start (following a recipe from an ancient boots book that instructed to add all of the sugar etc. at the start), but all looked ok. I took the gravity and it was down at 0.992, so I added about 50 grams of extra sugar and stirred it up, took a reading at 0.994; I then left it for another 36 hours. Today there was no CAP and I took the SG, it was down at 0.990, so I have strained it into a demijohn and added an airlock. But, there is no gas escaping from the airlock at all, is this OK or have I ruined this wine by leaving it in the bucket too long or adding the sugar ? Thank you for any advice that you have. Best Regards Steve. |
