2012 Muscat, Day 9 (Oct 7)

It's turned sharply cooler outside, into the 50's.  The cellar also dipped a bit, to 68 this morning.  The Muscat 1 is still throwing off a lot of CO2 and the ramato none.  Thought it might be worth taking a reading or two.  Muscat 72.5 F abd 0,8 Brix.  Ramato is at -1.5 Brix: dry.  Color differences are becoming a more pronounced as there's a slight bit of settling out.

Shameless plug for Brooklyn Homebrew.  It's really great to have a shop just a few blocks away where we can pick up odds and ends that otherwise would have meant a drive to Terminal Market or ordering by mail.  In the last week we've grabbed hosing that fits the odd-sized spout on our 100 liter poly tank (by fitting inside the spout) and the spout on our 100 liter steel tank (fitting on the outside of the spout, potassium matabisulfite, airlocks, carboy caps, #6 rubber stoppers, a disassembling wine thief, and Titrettes. Ain't life grand?
