Been racking for days it seems like. Just picked up my cider for some apple pie wine
Gots to rack my Chard tomorrow as it went dry already! .994 in 4 days in 66* temps with Cotes des Blanc! Thats a record for me and I really didnt want it to ferment so fast, hopefully it retained the fruitiness I was looking for.
Wade I feel your pain.
My Niagara went from 1.08 to 1.01 at 60* in 3 days.
My Concord went from1.08 to 1 in at 72* in 3 days.
My Fredonia went from1.08 to 1.001 at 72* in 2 days.
All using Cotes des Blanc, if I had known they would drop that fast I would have put the Concord and the Fredonia in the cold room with the Niagara.
This is what I've been doing past few days, it's hot but man they are getting ripe and there are sooooooooo many of them
These could be Bilberries, Sirs. They just came out of season here in N. Fla...treat them as you would blueberries. They are good for improving sight as the British Air fleet used to eat these berries prior to nightflight, unless you drink too much of the wine, right?
