2010 Muscat day 4

Morning:
Still active and hot.  See readings.  Switched to short scale hydrometer (+5 to -5) that we bought in the off-season, which which is giving us a much easier reading here in the sudden early end game.

Evening:
Down to 1.5 Brix.
There are a fare number of grape skins, dessicated and floating now, that made it in from the pressing.  Not a cap in the red wine sense, but maybe 50 or 100 grapes.  I skimmed them out.  Next year need to be more careful and strain all the juice going into the fermenter.
