Wine keeps on bubbling

Time for my next bubble count on the Beaverdale Merlot:

Day	Time per bubble (secs)	bubbles per minute
0	infinite	0
3	2	28
5	9	7

Observations:

• the bubbles were coming through noticeably slower now, though still very regularly.


• the bubbles were all the big kind now, which slowly moves the water round before go ing through in one rush. This means the slowing of the fermentation compared to day 3 isn't quite as large as the figures suggest.


• it is clear there is still constant CO2 coming from the wine.

Despite having nothing to really compare this behaviour to, I'm very happy to see evidence of activity from the wine. I'm sure its fermenting, and have no intention of opening the top to take a measure with the hydrometer until the bubbling has slowed much more.
