Advice, anyone?
Put a Beaverdale Merlot kit on two days ago, temp 20-22C, and by the following morning it had bubbles, so I thought it was on the way. Checked it again this morning and it's flat, with a ring of crust just above the surface, not a bubble in sight.
It's in a bucket with the lid loose, planning to transfer to fermenter and airlock at SG 1010 after 4 or 5 days.
OG had been 1082-4. Took a reading this evening and it was 1075, but on a different (30 yr old) hydrometer as we broke the other one. Temp around 22-24C at the time.
Should I do anything ? Stir it, perhaps ? or just wait and see ?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
