Larry's Petite Sirah

Larry had some late Petite Sirah we ended up picking up. He picked it on Friday, Nov 13th and he crushed it for us today, Nov 15th. There is approx 31G of must, which is sanitized and in 2 plastic barrels. We will innoculate on Tuesday using the RC212 yeast and GoFerm.

 

26.5 Brix

3.2 PH (Looks like the cold nights really helped keep the PH down)

 

The group will decide if we want to do an additional 20G of Petite Sirah or wine or if we want to try doing some port.  The basic approach for making port is to ferment 1/2 of the sugar and then add alcohol (everclear?) to stop fermentation.
