A little tinkering

Not one to leave well enough alone, I gave my wines a 30 second shot of O2 at yeast pitch, and another 30 seconds the next morning. Even though the wine kit instructions say to check after 7 days, at 4 days my Pinot Noir wine was down to 1.007 (from 1.092), and the Riesling wine was down to 1.017 (from 1.082). I suspect the Riesling will reach 1.010 tomorrow. Per the kit instructions, I racked the Pinot Noir wine.

Other readings:

Pinot Noir Pyment: OG 1.122, SG today 1.054
Riesling Pyment: OG 1.112, SG today 1.053

I broke my hydrometer before I got a reading on the Port, but according to the Brix readings and a rough calculator, OG 1.126, SG today 1.031.
