Being that I pitched the yeast last Friday night, I though I started out too slow. By Saturday at 1:00 pm I saw no bubbling action and wasn't smelling any yeast odors like I had with my one gallon batches. I stirred it anyways. I thought it was because of the water that I used. I used 1 gallon of spring water and 4 gallons of purified water.
I didn't check it again until Sunday at 5:00 pm. There was a good amount of bubbles on the top of each bucket and had the tell tale or yeast. I should say that foam covered each bucket. I stirred it. Looks like the fermentation was well on it's way.
On Wednesday the S.G. reached 1.000 so I racked the wine into a carboy.
I'll definitely let you know about how it finishes.
