Hello Everyone,
Hope your all well and can possibly help and advise me...
I'm toally new to wine making craft but I thought i'd have a go at making some wine so I decided to have ago at making some WOW and Richards Red 2 Recipes I gratefully found on the internet.
So I made 25 litres of WOW and a Demijon of the red now I started these on the 7th of jan and they were fermenting lovely I went away for over a week come back and nothing, they both stopped I checked the hydrometer reading and there both just below .990
So being a total newbie are I don't know if these wines are totally ruined or are they ok?
Is under 2 weeks to quick for a wine to forment out or is this normal?
What are my options now is the wine worth keeping, will the alcohol level be ok it was at 1070 when i started, and what should I do next?
Can i use 5 litre water bottles to transfer it to, to clear and do i leave the caps screwed down or does it have to breath?
I know these may seem like idiotic questions but being a newbie I do appreciate all the help and if I don't know I'll always ask.
