Merlot Barrel Racked and Cleaned

In early December, Ray and Mike, with cheerleading assist from Bob and Lee, transferred the Merlot 1/2 from the Re-Coup barrel that was showing a surface film (stable) to s/s and carboys for a barrel cleaning over a day, finishing this evening with a meta/citric rinse and refill to top off... After a month no sign of surface film. Looks like we got the barrel cleaned. Good work!
