Juice pail natural yeast

Actually broke my good triple scale hydrometer last week. But I had backups. They're good.
The wine is tasting spot on, I think it's actually benefitting from 1.001. Allows for the flavor to linger while still tasting like a full red. Off dry? Semi dry ? Whatever you call it it's working for this wine.

Most wines at 1.001 would still be called a dry wine. Usually 1.007 or even 8 is the cut off for dry.

Well it was definitely a curveball. Out of the dozen or so primaries I've done since using a hydromter I haven't had anything finish higher than .997 or .998.
In hindsight I think I was overly concerned when I shouldn't have been.
