What R you doing today?

I got the Grenacha/Carignan racked today. SG was 1.018 which may have been a little high because I am getting a lot of bubble through in the airlocks. Hopefully, that will fix itself in a day or two.

I am slightly encouraged with the Trebbiano/Riesling because I am seeing a light colored sediment on the bottom. Perhaps after I hit the wine with Kieselsol and Chitosan, it may clear (or is that wishful thinking?).

Lastly, I noticed something today that I had never seen before. On the carboys where I was getting "bubble through," wine was leaking up the stem of the airlock from the stopper. I attribute this to a more pronounced parting line from the molding process. I plan to file off any parting line on the stems of my airlocks. I don't think it would be a major issue but I does not help having the leak.

Patience. I had a terrible tasting Pinot after 3 months in the carboy. Transfered to another. After 3 more months. Better but... 6 months later. Much nicer. May let it sit another 6 months, then bottle. Some of my first wines are much better after 2 years.

When you specifically went to another Costco because they have the new V4 Kirkland Signature golf balls listed as "in stock" and you get there only to find the old V3's version are on the bottom floor and the new V4 is on the very top......... LOL



They were actually very nice about it! LOL

I have always found the Costco staff very accommodating when something isn't on the easily accessible shelving. Always cheerful, I think they just like driving that forklift.

It appears that I will be shoveling later today....
