2011 Muscat, Day 6

6:00

• Room 74, must 72, Brix 9.
• Still very frothy, happy, sloppy, mucky.

Just a side observation: we put the frozen balloons into gallon freezer bags and these go into the must.  When the ice has melted, the bags are stretched large with gas: does it come from the melting ice, or  is CO2 or something else permeating into the bag from the must or the headspace above it?

Also, email to & from B yesterday: sounds like he's buying his grapes today, and might be posting here about the makings on Staten Island.

15:00

• Room 74.5, must 70, Brix 7.
• Will be wanting the short scale hydrometer soon.
• Massive ice infusion delivered by Mihai.
