0600
- Brix -1.2 (carboy A)
- ~70F, pretty much ambient room temp. 45 F outdoors.
Hard to see any color shift in the full carboys, but in the hydrometer tube the lightening and thinning of the juice is a little more apparent.
Seems like we'll just let MLF happen if & when it chooses. Won't feed it, but with the cellar staying at 70 F, it would be hard to stop it, even with a big dose of meta at the next racking. (Would be interesting to take one of carboys up to Doyle's garage and let it over-winter there...)
Futzed some more about caps versus stoppers. One of the carboys was bubbling much more slowly than the others. Changed the cap to a drilled #7, et voila.
Looked through some prior years for when whites had clarified enough for racking after getting them out of the primary tank: about a month. That would mean likely racking some time around November 2.
