2015 Muscat, day 12

0600:  74 F cellar, a very wet 72 F outdoors.  249 hours since yeast.

-0.3 Brix in the carboy I've been measuring from most often, and 20 burps per minute.  (22 in the CB I measured from last night that had the higher than expected Brix.).  Time to fully top up and raise the SO2.

Calculator at vinoenology.com

So, added 5.7 ml 10% metabisulfite solution to each 5 gallon carboy.  Topped up with finished Muscat, using about a quart total over the 15 gallons.

Bonus: was finally able to get the drowned black wasp out of the soup!
