Readings

[BeerBelly]

Having made a ribena wine a few weeks ago, i had a starting gravity of 110, it as stopped gassing off (two days) so this morning i took another reading it shows 1040, that gives me a % of 8 i think.
I tasted it it tastes very sweet and thick, also tastes more alcoholic than the 8% i worked it out at :drunk:
ANY HELP INFO ADVICE PLEASE
I shall be moving the hooch to another demijohn to settle and clear (though it's hard to see through the claret colour)

Check your airlock is fitted properly, can you see any bubbles rising in the DJ?

That ain't finished by any means, don't rack it yet, in fact giving it a shake could help.

Did you boil off the preservatives when you started this?

Oh, BTW, 70 drop = 9.5% abv already.

Thanks for quick reply, i checked airlock its fine, it actually bubbled over a couple of time over the last week, like a sticky jam like throth, that as stopped now, and yes there are small fizz like bubbles still rising through the demi john, as for preservatives no i did not boil first, it's just pure ribena from the bottle with added sugar water and yeast, and half a campden tablet.
So your saying reseal bung and bubbler and give it a shake and wait another couple of weeks atleast?
Thanks again.
