Good afternoon, thank you for this information. Fermentation seems to be completely finished. I will likely add the sorbate and then I have a LD Carlson sparkloid that will hopefully help. Plan to rack and bottle soon.

Just saw this response. I did not use a sterile filter for this filtration. The SG has not dropped for 9 days and has stayed consistent at 1.014. I am still trying to find the best filtration to get everything out.

Good afternoon Bob, sorry I left those details out. I started the SP on 3/30 primary ended on 4/12 and on same day racked into carboy. Took specific gravity every week to make sure it dropped. Filter and racked last weekend. I was using Lalvin EC1118.

Good afternoon everyone, I know there are many variables to knowing if my SP is done fermenting. However, I wanted to check and see from your experience of you think mine may be. I want to back sweeten a little because the alcohol is strong. I started at a specific gravity of 1.130 and it is...

Fortunately over the past two days my SP has dropped from 1.08 to 1.062. the cap has reduced a lot but still has a nice cover for pure white foam. I am hoping for it to drop some more before racking to secondary. Since it started high I believe I will be left with a sweeter SP than I initially...

I can not test the ph as I don't have that apecificeasurent tool yet. I did just test the SP and it went from 1.080 yesterday to 1.072 today after adding some yeast nutrient. I also moved it to a lightly warmer area. My current house is at 68 degrees and I just moved it to an area that will be...

I unfortunately added the full amount of lemon to the mix I have made other wines and mead but this is my second attempt at SP. My last batch I got around 17.3% using the EC-1118

Do you think I should add some yeast nutrient to boost as well or just racking should do the trick?

I am not sure of the responses will change, but I forgot to add that the yeast I'm using is Lalvin EC1118.

This is my second time making SP. The first bath was great but went really quickly through the fermentation process. However I am on my second 5gallon batch. It started well, but a little high for SG at 1.130. the yeast took about 3 days to really get going, but went strong for 7 straight days...
