0600:
You know that sound that isn't snoring, it's just that single sleeping glottal keh that comes after an breathing out and at the start of breathing in? All of the carboys are doing it, about every three seconds. It's very peaceful. Like being in a nursery at nap time.
Steady flow of very fine CO2. A good deal warmer outside yesterday and last evening than the day before, but the temp of the juice is steady. The usual custard color for this stage.
Something about the carboy caps: they sometimes let the CO2 escape from a less than perfect seating against the neck of the CB. When you see one CB that's not keeping the same time as the others, if you press the cap down, it will join in. OK at this stage, but what about when things go still? I haven't seen any discussion of this. I do think I once saw a reference to someone using some sort of gel inside the cap for a seal (saw that once, and nothing more specific). Switch back to rubber stoppers? Just stop worrying?

Hike! -0.6 Brix in the first-filled 5 gal CB.
