End of day 2, 2009

Blend climbed 7' from this morning and is down to 15 brix.
Grenache climbed another 5.5', to 82', and it's brix is approaching 10 - very quick (and will want to recalibrate the hydrometer, to be sure).

The caps are at the max on both these wines - Pam and Mike are missing a good show. Punchdowns are psychedelic.

Did not record brix from the Syrah, but it is continuing to be very active, temp 79', same as this morning.

Muscat is starting to do something - ferment or rot - and is only up .5' from this morning at a still cool 72. This is really right on schedule. Should have action in the AM.

The room is the warmest it's been - 72'.
Lots of CO2, lots of grape smell. No flies. Floor is pretty clean.
