2013 Muscat, day 12, Oct 3 2013

* 6:30: slow, occasional bubbler action. Small bubbles running up the cb's but no froth in the neck except at the edges where the bubbles surface. Some of the creaminess of the color is gone, though the must is still completely opaque.

Last year we racked off the gross lees on day 15. Possible we'll do the same this year.  Good to see the color we were at when we did it last.

* 23:30: Stiller and stiller.  The most active of the cb's is one pop per minute or two.
We're a few days into a warm spell, and the next three will hit 80 F or so.  Happy it started after the big sugar drops happened.  Haven't been taking the cellar temp, but it ain't cool.  Laid new icepacks between the cb's this morning and again just now.
