I have started a five gallon Sauvignon Blanc kit which has been fermenting for just over a week. Tested it yesterday and it read
994 on the SG meter. I'm surprised because it says it should take nearer 10 - 14 days on the instructions. Also, the meter has a yellow band at 996 - 1000 which advises the wine be bottled at this mark.So, should I bottle it now, carboy it, add sugar, what?
It is not clear so I suspect it willat least require putting in carboys (demijons) for a while. But can I add sugar to continue the fermentation process for a few days, and get another stab at stopping the fermentation when it is nearer 1000?
Cheers, Mike.
