This may sounds a rather stupid qus, but being very new to brewing were
really not sure of the problem

I know this is a brewing group, but in addition to brewing some beer we
decided to have a go at some wine. The starting specific gravity was 1070
(was suppose to be above 1080 i believe) so i guess this was a little low
for wine i believe but didn't believe that was too much of a problem? well
we've left it 8 days to ferment, and took a reading of the gravity again and
it seems to be giving a reading of 1083.... so in effect has risen....
anyone had any similar problems ??

sorry if ive not been too clear.... let me know if ned any further info...

thx
