So, I got a Shiraz Vino Italiano wine kit off of Amazon for $40, and I came home one day and followed the instructions very well, pitched the yeast, and let it sit. Five days later I noticed nothing was happening - no bubbling, no SG change, nothing. So, I figured the dry yeast in the kit was dead. I don't trust dry yeast, so no big deal - I went and bought some liquid Wyeast Bordeaux and tossed that stuff in there. The airlock started bubbling that night, and I figured that's a good sign of at least fermentation. However, here we are almost two weeks later and the thing is STILL bubbling like mad. We're talking two bubbles every second. The directions said to rack it to a secondary in five days, but, uh, that was nine days after I pitched the Wyeast Bordeaux. So, do I just let it go or rack it anyway? The SG is constantly changing, and within the range the directions told me to stay in for the secondary racking. However, I know the thing is still fermenting, so is it really ready to put into secondary?
