what's fermenting?
Hello,
I was just wondering what wine(s) everyone was working on right now? I just finished transferring my rhubarb to the secondary. I bottled a strawberry-banana a week ago. And I'm thinking about my plum wine recipe, which I'll start about November 1 or so. Happy fermenting! Darlene

I'll have to check when I get home, but it'll be a far cry from Portland,
OR. Harvest condition were fabulous for the last two weeks. My Pinot came in huge as did the Gewurtz. Only problem is the Reisling isn't ready and we had HUGE storms in the last 72 hours, rained buckets for hours. Thats gonna set the Brix back a bit. Hopefully we'll get a shot of that Indian Summer soon. But right now its cool and cloudy. I'll see if I can't get those numbers up tonight. Tom "Ken Anderson" wrote in message . net...

Ken, Fallbrights Niagara was at 8.5 brix this year! Definitely not a great
year for the Niagara there. I think it was 17 Brix last year at the same time. Untimely rain and unusually cold conditions in the New York Fingerlakes region this year. "Tom" wrote in message ...

I have to rack a barrel to kegs for topping wine tomorrow. It's dry, but ML is probably still perking so I'll airlock it for now. I might do a barrel of Sangiovese in a week or two. We'll see...

Niagara stats was what's fermenting?
Just wondering,
Should I be heading on down to the local grocery store to stock up on Welch's frozen White Niagara concentrate. Sounds like there may be a shortage by this time next year! I presume that Welch's vineyards are in the New York State area. 22 brix "Ken Anderson" wrote in message . net... Tom, did you get the numbers on your Niagara?

what's fermenting?
On the "ready for bottling" side of the bench is about 5.5l of
cranberry and 16.5l crabapple. The cranberry looks crystal clear now so I'll probably serve some tomorrow (it's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada) and bottle the rest. There's also about 6l of Cabranillo (CabSauv/Tempranillo blend) that was started a couple months ago from frozen leftovers of the 2002 crush. In secondaries from this year's crush, all from CA central valley grapes: 30l Ruby Cabernet 20l Grenache 28l Zinfandel 20l Merlot 21l CabSauv/Alicante blend 31l Syrah and there's also about 4l worth of Syrah doing a very extended maceration in a very high proportion of skins -- juice I drew off as saignee and then added back to a bunch of the pressed skins from the main batch, as an experiment. Hopefully it's still OK and I'll press this today. I'm a bit surprised that some of these (Zin, Grenache, Ruby Cab) are almost crystal clear already after only 3 or 4 weeks in the secondary and 1 or two rackings. So far the Zin seems to be the class of the field. It had a 2-day cold soak, 4 day fermentation with K1V, and an additional 9 day extended maceration. But all seem at least decent, with the only real disappointment being the Cab/Alicante blend as developed a bad case of H2S while I was too busy to be checking it. I'm treating that batch now and am fairly confident I can save it. Richard
