2014 begins!

We've decided to jam the white winemaking in between two trips, and with the early harvest that means we have to start... today.  We'll buy the usual Muscat Alexandria from either Lapide or TPS and let them sit overnight - same as we did last year.  Last night we were able to pick up some Lalvin ICV D47 yeast from Brooklyn Home Brew - also the same that Mike chose last year.  We also picked up fresh chemicals for acid testing, a small amount of tartaric acid in case we want to make the same adjustment as last year, and a clean hydrometer testing tube.

And we'll be using the new bladder press!  Woo hoo!
