Hokiedoke. S&L pressed early. 2 free run carboys, and two mixed - the last one we went back and recombined the cakes so we could squeeze out that last liter or so, and that last tastes a bit tart. (We let some of this stand a few hours and tasted again, and it seemed less so, but who knows?)
P pressed an hour or so after S&L. Very fast. Got two full carboys and maybe a liter and a half of overflow. One of the S&L carboys pushes to P.
At three, B&L pressed theirs, and finished with about 3 carboys and a jug (5 l.?)
All in all, less then we were mentally set on, but maybe not less than we should have expected by looking at the fill lines on our barrels. And MEK did charge us for 700 lb of grapes, not 750.
So, we're cleaned up, the barrels have migrated to B's place, and the watching begins until the first racking. Will purchase more K2S205 and some more of those sassy orange cb caps.
