All seems well with my Merlot going it's 4th day of fermentation. I tried using an acid test kit and got a reading of 4.0 of whatever units it reads, but being the first time using it I'm not reading too much into it's accuracy. The starting SG was a little high at 1.100 though I'm not sure of the effects of slight fermentation of the natural yeast over the previous couple of days. I took a reading yesterday and it was down to 1.060 and tasted very promising indeed.
Another newbie question now. When I press the must into a carboy is it ok to mix the wine from both FV's. I had intended to use 1 carboy and as many DJ's as I needed after the carboy was full.
