Default Chancellor

Thanks Joe,

My Chancellor TA was about 8 as I remember. My book is out with the 10
gallons of Noiret I just started. I used 71B on the Chancellor which is
supposed to take out some malic but maybe I'll do malo also as an
experiment. I can do it later can't I, after it's a little farther along?

By the way, I passed your 3 bucket press along to some folks on
. Mine's working fine.

Dick
