I started my primary fermentation with fresh, concord grapes from my parents back yard the day after Thanksgiving. We used a 5 gallon bucket, stirring daily for one week.
We transfered it to the secondary fermenter, added a bit of sugar and water, and left it there for 4 weeks. My parents basement was around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, too cold for yeast, so we moved it upstairs where it was warmer.
Since then wine has stopped bubbling and cleared up a bit, but I am afraid of bottling it too early and having a disaster on my hands. How clear should the wine be before I bottle it and how can I be certain it is finished fermenting? [I have no tools to test the specific gravity]
