I may be wrong on this, but EM and "early drinker" appear to be opposites. EM is supposed to increase tannin structure, so it's not going to produce an early drinker. If you have enough Pinot Noir, make a couple of batches using different techniques.
Will you have enough Pinot for 3 batches? 1 regular EM, 1 EM w/o seeds, and 1 pressed at 1.000.
I made 11 gallons of Skeeter Pee last year. I have 1 and a half bottles left. Quite the favorite of family and friends! I am about to start another batch in the next couple of weeks.
Getting more grapes shouldn’t be an issue just money and cellar space. Thank you for suggestion, it gave me pause. I like the idea of running multiple methods in parallel, gets me to my preferred method sooner, or the best method may always be a blend of treatments.
Rocktop - sounds like my plans. I want to do about 300 lbs and do Saignee - 1/2 rose and 1/2 doubled skins. I want something light and refreshing for summer afternoons on the patio (rose) and then a Pinot Noir that will likely take more than a year to be ready to bottle. Will get the grapes in Sonoma or Mendocino depending on who is selling.
I am a corrupting influence!
14 cases of skeeter pee last year,,,, and got another 30 gallon fixing to bottle,,,, i officially ran out a few months ago,,,, but in my magic closet their seems to be around 3 cases,,, kinda like the rabbit in the magic top hat, lol
14 cases!?! I may be going out on a limb here but I'm guessing you're rather fond of it. I was going to start that project in a couple months but now (with your endorsement) I may have to adjust my time frame.
Richard may mean that he over indulged while he was putting wine away, and forget where he put it. Then later, when he accidentally discovered it, it was like magic!
i make mine a little different then most, first for every 6 gallons of water i use 1 qt of lemon juice, that allows a good ferment, nutrients, and energizers EC-1118 AND run my SG as high as i can, then after ferment, i add 5 more quart of lemon to the 6 gallon of water, so you end up with a quart of lemon to the gallon water, rack, to clear and degas, when ready to bottle i use a 6.5 carboy first i add K-meta amd a fifth of pure grain alcohol 190 proof, then i rack my skeeter pee into that 6.5 carboy, then i back sweeten to taste, my taste is a SG of 1.040, taste like lemonade but kicks like a mule, ,, both lemon or pineapple hides the alcohol burn, every wine i bottle of every kind i run through that 6.5 carboy, so you have room to back sweeten, EC-1118 WILL go to 18 to 20 ABV, but i add PGA and you'll sleep like a baby, and i don't drink much, sadly i got tons of friends lol.....
Sheesh, Dawg, do you have a contract with Elon Musk for rocket fuel? No wonder he's had such good results getting his rocket into orbit. He's using stronger fuel than NASA!

um bottle storage, dang i don't like hearing that at all. between new and reused i think i got about 20 cases empty,, after hearing this i better bottle bottle what i got before starting any more whites, shoot i never gave bottles a thought, now that magnum is a slick ideal.
