Using Accuvin, both wines show 110 mg/L - unchanged from last week. Hmmm. I've known for a long time that I'm not the most color acute person in the world: maybe I'm just not an Accuvin guy? (But, really, no change from last week.) Raise the temp in that part of the cellar?
Used the new Hanna meter for the PH. 3.45 on the Cal Blend and 3.58 on the Primitivo. Last week we tried these tests by Accuvin and settled on 3.8 for the Primitivo and 3.5 for the blend. I guess in the long run, unless you're making adjustments, using the same test consistently is all you really need, but I'm glad to use an instrument where I can. I don't see myself setting up lab apparatus to replace the Accuvin. (But I have priced it out, just for the heck of it...)
Anyway, the thing to think about is whether to try to force the MLF along, and whether we can do it without adversely affecting the Muscat that we want to keep cooler in the same space.
