Gravity too low prior to fermentation

[Seamonkey84]

Assuming you haven’t racked it off the yeast already, go ahead and add more sugar/honey.

lol, you're cracking me up.....



to 17l batch (4.5 gallons)



if he let's it go dry, i'm getting 6.6% ABV, with the honey.....and my ciders take 2 weeks to go to dryness.....

edit: and if it does finish to dryness, look into one of these..

He absolutely should go dry considering a rack and sit for a month before another. But how dry does it go. I have never measured it. I measure start, let it stand for 10 days with a couple stirs a day then move it over to a primary with an airlock where it sits for a month. If it ain't done in a month it ain't doing nothing. I've always assumed that 1010-1008 is done. Does it go to 1000?

he said he added 700g's of honey......i think? (i like this time in the afternoon on HBT!)

I made a test batch, only 2l but same ratios, and the final gravity went to 0.998,so I assume this will keep dropping too?

Looks like my wine is a bit stronger than I thought LOL. 1100 down to... have to measure 998

13.26 instead of the 12.75% I thought it was...26.5 proof Not even hot.
