Hmmmm ...... I can't get an sg for either reds.
The Merlot is the worst - a thick soup the colour of elderberry jam (A Good Thing), but if I try to filter the goo out to get an SG, it just blocks the fine mesh sieve I'm using, and what DOES go through is thick enough to make the hydrometer stick in whatever position you leave it
The Ciliegiolo is almost as bad.
I think I'll have to wait for a cap to form, push a syphon tube through and draw some of the liquid below.
I'm amazed at the colour of the Merlot - promising!
