While topping the barrels we noticed some surface scum on the Merlot #1 in Ray's 22G recoop barrel. There isn't any off odor or taste. We pulled off as much as we could and sprayed the surface with a meta solution.
This was a barrel that had a bad VA smell problem over the summer that we cleaned with ProxyCarb several times. It may also be the barrel that had the original contamination with the 2003 merlot.
We will need to keep an eye on the barrel. We will likely need to rack the wine out into stainless/glass and do another cleaning.
