It was an organic apple juice that was unfiltered. Started at a 1.12 and ended at a .990. Great suggestion on the marbles, I appreciate that!

Good afternoon, Bottled/racked to second fermentation an apple wine today and I can’t tell if I need to add some fluid to the bottle or if there is enough in there to keep it from having too much oxygen exposure. I put a pinch of sugar in thinking that I might be able to get a small fermentation...

You guys were definitely right, misread the hydrometer so it should have been a 1.12 OG which would still put it at a ~16.8 abv which seems a little high still for the Premier Blanc. Thanks for the assistance!

Good afternoon, I just made a 1/2 gallon batch of apple wine using bottled apple juice, Red Star Premier Blanc yeast and a few raisins...and a whole mess of sugar. My OG reading was higher than I meant it to go (1.20, checked twice) and after only 11 days it has apparently stopped fermenting...
