A Fast Ferment
November 29th, 2005 | 
Author: An observation on the blackberry wine I started on the 17th of November. Using this recipe included using Lalvin DV10 yeast.
As I noted the other day, I racked it from a primary into a secondary fermentation vessel 9 days later. After I finished racking, there was no sign of any further fermentation going on and the Specific Gravity was 0.092 – that’s about as dry as it’s going to get, I’m sure.
This is my first use of DV10 yeast and I’m wondering if it always provides such a quick fermentation.
The blueberry wine which I started a couple of days earlier had a starting Specific Gravity of 1.104. Nine days later, the SG was 1.020.
After racking, the blackberry wine also was an interesting colour – very close to a blood red. Mind you, that’s with a lot of “stuff” still mixed in before it starts to settle.

Pavilions, halls, rockeries and ponds display the finest in landscaping from the Southern style as seen in the Ming and Qing dynasties. More than 40 landscapes were ingeniously separated by latticed walls, winding corridors, and lattice windows.
I will keep your new article. I really enjoyed reading this post, thanks for sharing.
