Merlot, Brix, and........oops!
Ok, I'll admit it , I was in a rush, and totally blew off the brix
reading before I pitched my yeast and went away for two days. I don't know why I did this. I KNEW the brix was at 30 . Anyway, its now the Day 4 and my readings are SG=1.012 @ 70 degrees F down from 1.122, Brix level = 2.5, and the PA is at 1.5 % down from an inital 16. I'm waiting for the PA to go down to at least .995 before I initiate MLF. Does anybody have any idea what I can expect from this mess? I'm leaning towards the idea that I'm going to be able to clean car parts with it.

With no idia what the original reading was you really can not determine what you have unless you want to send it off to a lab. Just enjoy what you get. ;o) Ray
