2016 Chardonnay, day 6

06:00
Brix 8, temp 72 F.

Calmer yeasts, but still pushing the bubbler every couple of seconds.  Sadly realizing I may have misread some of the previous temps.  Note to self: going back to a digital thermometer next year.  Smells are intense and sweet still.  And we're staying faster than last year's fermentation.


21:30
Brix 5.5, temp 72.

Steady CO2 production, yeasts are very wet and sticky.  Still a heavy fruit smell from the must.  Swapped the San Jamar.  May be trying the short scale hydrometer in the morning.
