I am BRAND new to wine-making (may continue with it, may not).
Working on an Island Mist kit. I'm at the clarification stage and thought I was ready to bottle. about a week or so ago, I noticed my 3-piece airlock was just about dry. odd, I thought. re-filled it and didn't think much about it until this evening when I noticed it was about dry again. thinking it might have a hairline crack in it, I changed it out to S-style airlock. it's still bubbling maybe once every minute-minute and a half.
I can say I probabaly didn't do a great job on de-gassing when I added the last juice package and K sorbate. that was about two weeks ago.
I have to wait until this out-gassing stops before bottling, don't I?
brewing is easier than wine-making!
thanks!
