.996 ???

[blazer]

After fermenting a reading is .996 that's very little alcohol, when does it happen?

.996 ? That could be lots of alcohol 12 to 14 %

. What was your starting SG

1.090 but on the conversion chart says .996 is only -0.7

This was on day one

OG of 1.090 corresponds to approx 11.7 ABV.
FG of .996 corresponds to approx -0.7 ABV.
They get added. You're at approx 12.4 ABV.

Congratulations!
Look under the "Tutorials, Calculators, Wine Logs, And Yeast Charts" forum for information.

Well you know more now

(starting SG - final SG) / 0.00736 = approx ABV
(1.090 - .996) / 0.00736 = 12.77
.094 / 0.00736 = 12.77

For some reason my brain refuses to remember the math-y thing.

Or my phone number.

And do I turn the handle to the right or left to let coolant into the reactor?

In all seriousness, we all want to make good wine, and we want each other to make good wine. No one here was born with wine making knowledge. If you have a question, ask!

You made wine so you must know something!! What kind of wine is it?
