Meet Tonight

Hi All,
 
Everyone is set to meet tonight at 6:30pm. We'll blind taste the chard combined and separate and make a decision on bottling.  We'll also continue working on racking the reds.  The wines that still need to be racked are:
 
1. Malbec needs to be racked over copper and goes back into Lee's 30G French barrel.
 
2. WA Clone-6 Cab is racked into Lee's 15G (neutral) French barrel.
 
3. Merlot #1 is racked and goes back into Mike's 30G Hungarian barrel.
 
 
Our winemaking schedule calls for adding 15ppm SO2 after MLF (now).

 15PPM SO2

    - 1/4 tsp meta = 15ppm in 15 gal

    - 1/3 tsp meta = 15ppm in 20 gal

    - 1/2 tsp meta = 15ppm in 30 gal

We need to clean Bob's 20G French barrel w/ Oxyfresh.
 
We need to sulfur (or re sulfur) empty barrels.
 
See you at 6:30pm,
 
Troy
