Day 6

6:30 AM:

  • Must temp at 76 and 74 F.

4:30 PM:

  • Rented a #35 press from BevPeople. I managed to fit it into the back of my Corolla. I think the next bigger press would not fit. I also purchased a packet of Enoferm Alpha to start the malolactic fermentation.

5:00 PM:

  • Pressed the wine into:
  • 7 gal carboy, all free run.
  • 6 gal carboy, mix of free and press run
  • 1 gal jug + 2 bottles, press run.

9:00 PM:

  • Mixed the 2.5 g Enoferm Alpha to 60 mL of distilled water.
  • Let it sit 15 minutes.
  • Added 1 mL/gallon to the conatiners.
  • Still can smell the H2S. Need to get another nose into the wine. Take a sample to BevPeople tomorrow.
