Hello everyone, I've been lurking around the forums for a while now, and there's alot of useful information here! So I have a question about one of my current wines..
I'm making 4gallons of blueberry wine, which has been fermenting very slowly(OG was 1.062, and it took 10 days to get to 1.051), but after two weeks I put it in secondary, as it has not been foaming excessively. It's in a 3gallon better bottle, and a one gallon glass carboy. Now, what I'm finding strange is that both carboys have the "bubble" airlocks, and the one gallon has bubbles very consistently(one right after another, I guess around every second or so), but the 3 gallon has none. I know wines don't always bubble in the airlock, but what makes me wonder about it is that one part of it does, and the other does not.
I've heard that blueberry can be difficult to ferment, but it does seem like it's fermenting(you can see tiny bubbles constantly rising to the surface in both), just doing so rather slowly..
Temperature is pretty stable, around 72F, and the two carboys are sitting next to each other. Let me know if everything is okay or if I need to do anything
Also, I've been stirring them both a couple times a day.
Thanks for your time
