first racking
Okay, did first racking from secondary. Got rid of all sediment, and
toped off with a small batch I had going secifically for topping off. SG was .990 . One gallon batch of welches concentrate (red) My question is this: after fiting the airlock back on, I noticed that it is bubbling. It had stoped for about two weeks, and now It starts in again? it is bubbling even faster than it was when it went from primary to secondary by a factor of about three. When I went to seconary, there was a bubble every 3-4 seconds. Now there is bubble every 1-1.5 seconds.... Is this normal?? Init SG: 1.090 kI1v-1116 yeast init ph 3.5 ph now is 3.5, but went up to 3.6 in secondary. Thanks in advance! email: dallyn_spam at yahoo dot com please respond in this NG so others can share your wisdom as well! |

Dave,
When you rack, the additional oxygen can get the wine going again. Plus, you added welches - there may be some additional sugar there which the yeast is working on. What happened doesn't surprise me all that much. I'd be interested in what others say, though. Darlene "Dave Allyn" > wrote in message ... > Okay, did first racking from secondary.

I didn't add Welches... I made the whole thing from welches. the
stuff I used to top off was all part of the same batch.... both were at .990.... I thought that was about as dry as it could get.....

The SG indicates that it is dry, so it isn't sugar fermenting. Tom S |
