Thank you for the corrections. I will continue by racking into a glass carboy then take it from there. Thanks again.

Good day all, 3rd time making wine, would like to know if my readings are ok so far. 10/9 started Syrah in fastferment conical from 6 gal juice pail. Starting SR was 70. 10/23 SR is now 0.996. Did not rack yet (clean out bulb). If readings are good, what next?

Great, thanks for the heads up.

This is at about 2 weeks. See pic.

Thanks, appreciate your help.

Thank you for the tips. Today is day 21 the SG barely moved, 1.013. Last week was 1.015, did what you recommended and closed the valve and hit it with the degasing wand on a drill for a short time. I will check SG in a couple of days and see if I woke anything up. If no movement, I will add...

Do you add campden to the finished product? If so when is a good time to do it.

Got it, thanks.

Hi Ted, Thanks for the info. Splash rack? Not familiar with the terms, I'm new at the game. Is that to siphon from conical to carboy?

I believe bulb capacity is 23.7 oz

Good morning, what do you think of this idea? After 2nd fermentation in the conical. Instead of racking (removing bulb) i was thinking of isolating the lees by closing the valve. Then adding my bentonite mixture and mixing with a degasser wand. When finished mixing, letting wine come to a...
