my house was pretty chilly when i started a five gallon batch of red wine a few weeks ago.
I thought it clever to put a space heater on the carboy to expedite fermenting.
it was pretty foamy and bubbling had stopped.
my friend then educated me on yeasts intolerance for heat so i added another packet of pasteur red yeast to it.
a few days later it is bubbling slowly.
Is the wine still good? If so, when should i rack it?
thanks,
westley
