2023 Chardonnay - day 3

 0800

  • Room 71 F, outside 49 F
  • Juice 72 F, Brix 18 (21 after bubbling rise)
Everything's gone shaggy again inside the main tank, and flat (but prickly) again in the CB.  Video is 10 seconds or so of what's happening in the tank.  Maybe too much ambient sound from the fridge and furnace to properly hear the CO2 bubbles bursting.  Play it big and load.  Below the video, the still photo is of the thermometer in the tank, showing, if you look very closely, that the shag, while active, is less than an inch deep.  (Six commas in that last sentence.  Oy.)





1300

Suddenly it smells like a big ferment in the cellar.  Amazing change from this morning.
And foam returns to the CB.
