Hi everyone,
I started a batch of white grapes, using cote de blanc yeast on wednesday. Initial sugar reading was 23(after adding sugar). Today, friday, the reading is 10. Does this yeast ferment that fast. i thought it was a slow fermenter. I do see a lot of bubbles, meaning there is active fermentation.
The SG reading currently is 1.024. Should i siphon into the carboy or wait a few more days?
Thanks
Rick
Hi, Joe is right, in warmer temps, your fermentation can go much quicker. If it were me, I would wait a few days until your SG was 1.000 or below before I would rack. Keep it covered, as Joe suggests to avoid those beasties out there. Darlene
Thanks to both of you for the feedback.. I will wait till the SG goes down.. :)
