2013 Muscat, Day 5, Sep 26 2013

* 6:30: The bubbler on the big poly tank is active for the first time - that cheered me as soon as I walked into the cellar.
Room 69.5, must 69, brix 13.  Drop of 1.4 or 2 brix in the last 11 hours, 10% of what was there.
Changed the paddle and ice packs.  Forecast is for an outside temp of 72 today.

At what brix do we want to transfer to carboys this year?  Last year we did it on day 7 at 4.9 brix.

*16:30: Had to jiggle the schedule around a bit, so we're early.  Room 70, must 68, Brix 12.  No bubbler action, but the foam is plenty active.  Left the packs in place but swapped the paddle (thank you Doyle).
