Day 5 First Racking


Checked the batch this morning and did not detect a bubble in the few minutes I watched it. Not using a hydrometer, so decided it was time to rack into the3L (could not find a 1gal) glass jug. It did not all fit so added the last bit to a clean 20oz bottle with a balloon (poor mans airlock). The wine? looks OK smells closer to wine. Took a small taste, almost completely dry tasting but not good. But it does have wine taste and feel, just very raw, a little yeast taste, but it also very cloudy still. Time is now going to be our friend I hope. Not much to do for a few weeks now but watch it. Hurry Up and Wait
