All, I have a State Lane Cabernet from Brehm that was 27 brix prior to fermentation. I had fermentation cranking for a week, the cap fell and i had 0 brix. I tested it with a vinometer and it is only regerstering
13%. Is this possible ? I thought it would be more like 14.5% ? Could the fermentation be stcuk ? what is the best way to test ? Clinitest ? Thanks, Rob
A red wine with that much alcohol should read minus 1.5 Brix or less when dry.
I tested it with a vinometer and it is only regerstering
Vinometers are not accurate. I calculate about 14.8 percent alcohol.
Yes, it could be, but probably not.
What is the best way to test ? Clinitest ?
Clinitest is simple and cheap.
