New cellar rats!
The ferment is going strong:
- Brix: 21.5; it has dropped 5 brix since yesterday
- Must temp: 77 F; it has warmed up considerably. I shut off the heat lamps. It will be in the 80’s by tomorrow, and I don’t want it to go any higher than 90F.
- The nose was perfect. Occasional whiff of ethyl acetate, but that is normal, and probably good as a very small amount adds fruitiness to the wine.
- Taste was great. Still very sweet. Even my kids liked it!
Here are the new cellar rats, punching down the cap:
