At 9:30 this evening we were at -0.2 Brix and decided it was time to get the must into topped-off carboys. The 100 liter tank 2/3 full was more than Lori and I could lift t a workbench, so we pailed the must out to fill a first carboy, then lifted it and used the spigot to fill a 2nd 5 gal., then a 3 gal, and then a 1 gal.
So, wildly early and 15 gallons of must. Very opaque. I'm hoping n the long run we have 1 or 12 gallons of finished wine. We'll see.
We'll want to build a hose that attached to the Graf poly's very wide diameter spigot - will make using it to fill future carboys much less airy.
