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.
