| Day 19 color |
Hey, kids. I've been neglecting the blog, but not our juice.
Above is an extreme closeup of one of the carboys. We've moved from goopy yellowish sherbet (see the day 5 post) to orangeade. I keep saying, oh, next year I'll get a Pantone(R) deck so I can give more exact descriptions, but that just doesn't happen.
Very few bubbles moving in the juice. Little-to-no popping of the airlocks. Lots of settled lees and dead yeast. Juice is at ambient temperature.
Last year we went 27 days between moving out of the primary fermenter and the next racking. This year we're so far 14 days out the primary and there's no particular reason to think our next move will not be in about 2 weeks.
