My second batch of wine. First was a Master Vintner Chardonnay and when I degassed it foamed up quite nicely during stirring with a whip attached to a power drill. For my second batch I did a Winexpert Cabernet Sauvignon and the degas did not foam much at all.
My primary fermentation was 7 days and brought the gravity all the way down to .992. It was a high temperature fermentation of 84 degrees so I should have checked it at day 5, but work schedule did not permit.
Did my degas not foam as much because I had already fermented so much in my primary?
I thoroughly whipped it for 3 minutes between each clarifying addition with very little foam.
What does this mean?
Thank you for any help you might offer...
