2014 Muscat, day 17, Oct 21 2014

0600:
Color shift .
This pic gives an idea of the color shift as settling happens in the wine, about 36 hours after coming off the gross lees.

Took no measurements this morning but calibrated the pH meter for use when things are a little more settled.

2100:
pH of CB Charley is 3.92.  Reading of pressed juice on day 1 was 4.3, but that was also an uncalibrated meter.

And in the evening...
This second pic shows how much more settling and color shift there's been in the last 15 hours.  Pic was taken with a flash, so the colors aren't the same as in this morning's pic, but you can see that the settling has moved nearly to the bottom of the CB.
