I am attempting to brew my first batch
the equipment I got is only the buckets 23lt max.
The kit I am trying to make is better brew 7 day pino grigio. 4.5lt kit
due to the sampling jar being broken in the kit I found it hard to try and take the starting SG.
I attempted using a wine bottle but it sticks to the neck of the bottle.
One fear I have is that the 4.5lt is lost in the large bucket. I did do a fair bit of reading before and added 250gm of cane sugar to the mix with a little water as I wanted a little more than 11% proof (as per the instruction)
From my attempted SG reading it is in the 12% range. 1074 SG before I pitched in the yeast if i am reading it right.
It is approaching 24hrs and so far no bubbles. The lid is on tight.
I have also noticed that the kit is 1 month out of date.
Should I be worried at this point
Also I plan re-use the screw top wine bottles that have been sterilized for a while. Am I doing anything wrong at this point?
Thanks for your help
