Isn't it lovely!
Warrick's trick of refrigerating the lees to get more juice out of them worked perfectly, so now we are 5+5+5+1. Lost only 1 gallon out of 17 in coming off the gross lees.
Very fine bubbles moving up the glass of the carboys, but not enough to be jostling the airlocks. Color is already starting to differentiate in the carboys - deep lemonade at the top and yellow custard the rest of the way down.
That'll be the end of the temperature taking and measurements for a while. (Though it's a pleasure to just stand there and look at the wine for a little while every day.) We have weeks to mull over the next racking, fining, and everything else. And to wonder why we didn't get it together to do a red this year!
