S.G. reaches 1.025
skins lightly pressed (by hand this year) and removed to fresh primary, 5kg of Sol Vino Italian red grape concentrate and 1kg of brown sugar added (to get S.G. to 1.060) and off it went on the yeasties still at large on the skins.
origional must strained into secondaries to finish ferment
NOTE: Yeast nutrient added to the second run due to paranoia about sulphur dioxide forming in the 2nd batch (like last year) due to lack of nutrient....better safe than sorryN.G.W.B.J.

Yea, I told the old lady night before last I had to have one or the winemaking just won't be good anymore. She was sipping her fave at the time, so I think it was effective! I think we are going to Little Rock on saturday, so I might as well have a look at the only winemaking supply store in Arkansas!REBEL MODERATOR
