I just prepared my must three days ago and left it to be fermented. I planned to leave it for around 7 days. Today, I got a hydrometer reading of 0.995 and I was shocked a little bit but I learned it can be possible to end the fermentation in just three days, my problem is my press machine is still under construction. I’m pretty sure that fermentation is completed because the pulps are not swelling anymore they are just floating just under the surface of the liquid. Nevertheless, I'm going to take another reading tomorrow just to be sure. My question is how many more days can I keep this like that until the press machine is completed? And if keeping it is possible, should it be oxygenless with an airlock or like just in the primary period?
