Default First racking

The Merlot is now racked and in carboys. Now have 23 gals of Syrah, and
25 gals of Merlot settling and aging.

Some questions - always appreciate the thoughtful feedback

* How much ullage do you leave in your carboys after first racking
(assume the wine is still, but just finished secondary and MLF)?

* How much sulfite do you add at this point?

My own practice thus far; 1; about 'two fingers', and 2; 15 ppm.


Hope everyone is having a great crush season --
