We met for the post-ML racking today for clarification and racked the merlot and cabernet. Both were good, but the merlot is extra tasty this year. :)
We racked:
- ~75G merlot, including mixing in the carboys and stainless containers.
- ~52G cabernet, plus we mixed in 5G malbec to give us extra cabernet for topping.
We added ~15ppm meta to the wine before racking it back into the barrels, plus Troy added a pinch of extra meta in the platypus containers for topping.
We have the malbec (WA and ID) left for tomorrow plus the Sangio/cab and WA Clone 6 cab. Bob, Ray, Mike and Lee will work on that on Monday.
Everything went very smoothly. We're getting good at racking!
Bob's new barrel cradle is a great design and is working great.
