Primary fermentation length.

[bjk24100]

I put in my yeast in wine on the night of 9/9/2011. It is now roughly 6 days later and it is still bubbling up pretty well. I have read that it usually takes about a week for primary fermentation. It has slowed down some but not nearly as much as previous batches. It this a good thing or a bad thing?? Or should I even be worried??

If it is taking longer than usual, you probably pitched less yeast, or less viable yeast. Or maybe you're fermenting cooler. Or maybe it less oxygen etc etc.

However, it's fermenting so what's your problem other than chronic impatience disorder?

You should not be worried. Let the beer (or wine, in this case) decide when it is done.
