Going strong
Checked on ths Pinot this evening.
- 17 Brix. The ferment is really moving now. That is 5 or 6 Brix in a day.
- 75 F…so it is warming up, as it should be. I am not sure I’ll ever get the must to 80. We’ll see.
- Big cap tonight. Punch down was a lot of fun.
- Smelled great. Taste was good, with a strong sour component. That may be the acidity coming though, but it seemed like it was something more that that. We’ll just have to wait and see. It is funny, but I still don’t get the Pinot character. Hopefully, at some point that will come through.
- Tomorrow I will add the final nutirent addition.
