Why your fermentation stalled at 1.020 — and how to coax it home
A practical guide to spotting, diagnosing, and restarting a stuck primary — the four usual suspects and a step-by-step restart protocol.
Built for home winemakers ready to retire the spreadsheet. Log a hydrometer reading in ten seconds, watch the sparkline tell you it's slowing, and catch a stuck fermentation before it stalls.
Designed for the winemaker with three carboys, a hydrometer, and a notebook that's already lost.
Every active batch at a glance. Stage, day, last reading — your whole cellar fits on one screen.
SG, temperature, additions, notes — captured in a few taps and plotted into a chart you can scrub through. Save photos alongside any entry to remember exactly what the cap or the lees looked like that day.
Ask about a stuck ferment, a worrying temperature swing, or what to do next — Vinea reads your batch's history and replies in plain language. Catches problems early, so fewer batches end up down the drain.
Crush → primary → pressing → MLF → aging → bottled. The shape of every batch, kept honest.
