Colleen, Lori, Mihai, Mike & Steve racked the Muscat this morning, going from 5+5+5+1 to 5+5+5+1L - lost very little. Taste is great - seemed brighter and more floral (both!) than last year's finished wine.
Tested for SO2, PH and TA - everything in range (and details into the stats chart), making no adjustments and not adding any meta this racking.
We've prepared a bentonite slurry and are adding it this afternoon. Going with closer to 5 g. per 5 gallon carboy that 10, and prepared the slurry with wine rather than water.
We also racked the Uh Oh No. 1. It's way more pungent than it's first born brother, and a bit fizzy. I kind of like it. We're shy a full 5 gal, but not by much, and I may use the liter of Muscat to top off. Am also adding Bentonite. Did not test ph or acid.
Mihai took lots of pics. Anxious to see them!
(Small update: bentonite is in. UON1 got topped up with wine displaced from the Muscat CBs when the slutty got added, and a cup from the 1 L (which is now a .750.)
