I crushed a combination of Cab (60%) and Merlot (40%) into primary and after
5 days began to get good bubbling activity. I pressed grapes with SG at 1.09 at 9 days - color is fantastic. I put juice into French oak with airlock, and am getting no bubbles. My question is this: is it possible that the fermentation is taking a respite before resuming again? Thanks in advance. Vic- posted
