Brix - Itasca 18 Petite Pearl 10-11 Marquette 16-17 Frontenac 15-16 Still have a couple weeks of decent weather, so I hope it makes it to 20. Little disappointed in PP. It always seems to lag.

Brix after destemming and crushing was 24.5 PH was 3.4 Hopefully I'll get another 2 buckets tonight and 2 more on Friday.

Am I the only one who doesn't trust their PH meter? Pictures would be about identical to above... 66 lb batch fermenting nicely, 61 lb batch ready to go. I'll pick the remaining Tempranillos tonight or tomorrow. A couple of the Malbecs might be ready on Sunday.
