Looking milky!

[DaveV]

Started first kit ever 5 days ago. Vineco Cheeky Monkey Australian Chardonnay. Everything seems to be progressing smoothly. Staring SG was 1.080, SG at day 5 is 1.020. I realize that the appearance will not have a polished look but Must has a creamy appearance opposed to a transparent look. is this normal?

My apologies for the nonscense questions but if I don't ask, I'll always be wondering. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, the color is perfectly normal. It'll still have that milky look throughout secondary fermentation. It won't start clearing until after it's been stabilized and degassed. Good Luck!!
