I won't give any names yet of the store I went to until I speak with them on the phone tomorrow... but here is my gripe!
My wife and I drove about an hour to a well known wine and beer making supply store about an hour from us to pick up a corker, corks, etc... for my recently finished wine.
While I was there, I decided to pick up a 6 gallon cabernet sauvignon bucket of juice to get started. I opened the bucket up tonight to pitch my re-hydrated yeast, and low and behold, there is less than 5 gallons of juice in the bucket.
I said to myself, ok, no big deal, one less gallon of wine... worse things have happened. Let me just grab a sample and take a hydrometer reading... 1.024!!!
I put a lid back on it and stuck an airlock in the lid so I can write this post and go to sleep. Anyways, Im calling the store tomorrow to get a refund or credit... should I pitch the yeast and let it ferment out?
