I have started a carrot wine to a Terry Garey recipe.
Initial fermentation of 2 gallons in a 5 gallon container Sg = 1.090
Recipe states cover and fit air lock.
( I thought primary fermentation should be with air. Ie bunged with cotton wool )
Followed recipe as stated with air lock. 2 weeks later strain into Demijohn on checking Sg find already 1.000.
Have I done something wrong ?
Should I not have used the air lock ?
Could I just bung it now and leave to clear ?At present I have left in Demijohn with Air Lock going to ferment to Sg .998
Lot of questions but would appreciate any advice.
