... but at least it has alcohol in it. i used a brew craft extract can of newcastle brown and 3 lbs of dry light malt extract. i didnt use the yeast it came with i used a safale 04 something like that, the blue pack. i added it when the wort got to 78, it fermented quick started after a few hours. after probably 15 - 20 hours it was down to 1.5 to 2 mins between bubbles in the airlock so i switched it to a secondary where i never see the airlock bubble. i tasted when i switched it to the secondary, it tasted a little winey and a little sweet. by winey i mean that dark wine acohol taste maybe?. its been a week now i tasted it again it was more winey (i think) and the sg was 1.045 (just got a hydrometer). should my secondary airlock bubble? should i leave it in my secondary or bottle it? what makes the winey taste? how can i get rid of it?
