Red Update

Punched down and took some brix and temp readings tonight. Second merlot batch is down to 5 brix. Expect it will be ready to press in 5-6 days. The temp of the carboys and trash-can were low, 70-72, so I put them up onto some foam to help insulate them from the garage floor. Here are the numbers

Wood River Merlot Batch2: 5 brix, 79 degrees
Wood River Cab 10.5 brix, 78 degrees
Cab Blush, 72 degrees (no brix reading taken)
Clone-6 Cab 23 brix, 72 degrees
Mourvedre 21 brix, 70 degrees.
