Pietro looked in on the wine at about 18:30. We didn't do a full punchdown, but fiddled about and discussed purchasing a new press on Saturday. Was very happy to see that the smaller Muscat cb was in full fermenting swing - plopping the bubbler. Will watch the temp tomorrow AM and may decide to ice it down.
M&P here at about 8 PM. We punched down the grapes and chatted through what supplies might be needed.
9:30 temp check of everything, but too pooped to take Brix reading. Everything continues to descend except the Muscat, which is rising. Everything seems right-on. Injected a couple of squirts from the ore active small Muscat cb into the less active large one. Hopeful for Saturday, but might need to push off a day or two for the Merlot blend.
Plus ultra.
