Usenet Newsgroups Re: how to make wine with typical new england grapes(concord)? From: rabbits77@my-deja.com (rabbits77) Interesting...this looks like just about enough info. I am confused about one point in his directions. This line:      If 1.000 or lower, rack into clean secondary and reattach airlock. Rack again after 2 months and again after additional 2 months. "rack and rack again" is just moving from one glass vessel to another every two months, right? Why? The idea is to get the wine off of the sediment. The sediment consists of grape parts and yeast cells both live and dead. Deteriorating sediments can produce some "off" flavors and besides, we all want clear wine. Steve Ok, and just one more question on this line:       If 1.000 or lower, rack into clean secondary and reattach airlock.       Rack again after 2 months and again after additional 2 months. I take this to mean if the SG is 1.000 or lower than immediately rack to secondary. Otherwise leave it be. Either way, you re-rack twice more. In the case of the SG being 1.000 you will have re-racked three times. In the case otherwise you will have re-racked twice. Is that correct?
