At last!
Left the garage door open all day; the fog never cleared 
Still, I got home at 6PM and could hear the must bubbling. There was a decent cap; the kids did the punch down.
- Must temp: still 68 F. I somehow need to warm this up.
- Sugar: 24.5 brix.
- Nose: very nice. No problems.
I’ll take another look just before bedtime.
sounds like it’s underway. did everything go ok with the additions and yeast? do you have any portable heaters?
The additions went fine. I don’t have a portable heaster, so I am stopping by Home Depot today. I think I’ll buy a radiant heater on a stand. Then, leave the cover off and point the heater down into the must. Sound OK?
