Hello all and thank you for any help you can provide this newbie.
I am making a Costco Cellar Master Pinot Grigio which I started 5 days ago in the fermenting bucket. I was very careful with the temperature and the yeast bloomed nicely. You can smell it "cooking" in my little wine room.
Question #1 - Should the airlock be bubbling? It's not and now Im thinking that maybe I shouldn't have put the airlock on so soon? Or am I being too impatient?
Question #2 - The instructions say to NOT stir for the first 2 days but it doesn't say whether I SHOULD be stirring after the first 2 days. It doesn't mention anything about stirring until Step 2 in the process which happens after approximately 14 days.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
