The Wilco Chardonnay has now been bottled. Although it's still immature, the flavours are already showing through. I left it for two weeks - rather than the on week suggested in the instructions. Using the hydrometer (properly) for the first time, I made sure the gravity was down to 1.000 before ending the fermentation.
The OG I recorded of 1.070 is a bit low in retrospect. From what I've read, it should have been closer to 1.090. I'm not not sure I read the gauge correctly. According to the
Brewer's Friend ABV calculator, from my readings, the wine is only 9.19%. I'll be more careful with my readings next time...
