Day 3- Primary Fermentation

Nothing too exciting today- but the wine must is bubbling up very nicely. It's making a sweet fizzy sound and smells very much like alcohol and grape juice! Here's a little video where you can see the fermentation in action! If you listen closely you can even hear it bubbling and fizzing.

Today the specific gravity of the wine must is 1.052 which means it's about 6% alcohol by volume currently. Oh so very exciting! As you can see from the below picture, the grape bag is now almost constantly floating, so each day I must continue to "punch down the cap" a couple of times to keep the grape skins from oxidizing or drying out.
