Should I do anything before pitching the yeast based on these readings?
I'm making 1 gallon of red muscadine wine. My hydrometer reading after crushing the grapes was 1.050, which I expected. The TA at this point was 5.5.
8 hours after adding 1.5 pounds of sugar I'm at 1.090 with a TA of 6.5. I expected a lower hydrometer reading with only 1.5 pounds of sugar. I wasn't sure what to expect of the TA, but 6.5 is a good number, right?
