Fermentation time frame

[Autumnridgewine]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie here. I just started a wine batch made with 100% cherry juice on June 29 in the evening. I noticed that the percolating stopped overnight, the night of July 3. So, it seemed it perked for 4 days then stopped. Does this seem normal, or do you think there could be something wrong with my batch? thanks!

Depends on ferm temp, type of yeast, what type of cherries, any additions, real cherries vs starting with cherry juice, etc.

100% montmorency cherry juice. Nothing else except sugar, pectic acid, yeast nutrient and red star wine yeast.

In my experience, pure juice finishes primary faster than mashed fruit. Four days is fast, but not worrisome to me.

Thank you. I sampled it today, and it tastes good, and it is dry. I'm going to rack it tomorrow. Thanks again!
