I took another reading of the Merlot with a hydrometer, having convinced myself it must have stopped fermenting and I wanted to get it into the secondary demijohn. The hydrometer dropped to a level where only the very top of the yellow section was visible, and none of the digits of 1.000 could be seen. Given the results of my hydrometer test showed I should be taking a line from just above the actual level of the liquid (not the level of the bell), this is a reading of about 0.997. I didn't take a photo as I didn't want to expose the wine to a bright flash, but I wish I had so I could look at it again.
I have tried to be very descriptive about the reading this time, so that I have something to compare against next time I take a reading. The reading does seem to be below the 0.998 from last time, but now I am doubting my reading from last time. Hopefully if I leave it another 5 days or more, if I can see any of the yellow section, fermentation is over. If I can't, I should leave it longer.
I should add that I have still seen no bubbles at all from the Merlot recently, and not even any sign that pressure is moving the water round the airlock at all.
Day | Time per bubble (secs) | Gravity |
---|---|---|
0 | infinite | 1.078 |
3 | 2 | |
5 | 9 | |
9 | 15 | |
12 | 18 | |
15 | 30 | |
21 | 55 | 1.000 |
24 | infinite (after hydrometer reading) | 0.998 |
27 | infinite (after hydrometer reading) | 0.997 |
Conclusions:
- From now on, I will photograph my hydrometer readings. Any exposure to the flash will be worth it I think, given it will save me doubting readings, and making extra readings because of it.
