Won't know for a while. It's only in the primary 48 hrs. :ban:

Thanks Cisco kid, You are right on with your assessment of the original question. And your reply is exactly the sort of response I was looking for. I read homebrew groups and books for hours every day but with less than 2 months of experience I'm not quite fluent with all the terms like...

Hi yall, I'm on ny 8th batch and have used Muntons gold yeast every time so far. My FG is allways on the high side when fermentation stops and the ABV is a little on the low side. I have 5 gallons 48 hrs into the primary and am expecting some Montrachet wine yeast in the mail...
