2011 Muscat, day 5

5:30

• Room 74, must 70+, Brix 12+.
• Not much drop in the Brix since early last evening, but fermentation is bubbling steadily along.  No worries.Compare it to last year, when day 5 started at 0.2 Brix and ended below zero and our transferring to topped up carboys!
• Swapped ice.  A few of the balloons have broken in the freezer but we likely have enough to get through - will ask C&M to put a few that we can't fit into our freezer into theirs.

A little geeky interlude: 2010 and 2011 Muscat comparisons.

18:30

• Room 74, must 72, Brix 9.5.
• Below the half-way mark.  Will continue to add ice, but heat should be less of a challenge.
