Fermentation Update 9-28-2009

Here is an update from our winemaker, Sal Captain:

September 28, 2009: Last night, I did the punch down and SO2, this morning again another punchdown, the color is fabulous deep red, the numbers are moving, started with 24 Brix, today it is 25.8 Brix, then it will drop gradually down to dry. pH is at 3.95, and TA was .7875, both of these numbers are towards the upper end of the scale, but Tom Morehouse is comfortable letting them settle by themselves w/o additions. We shall apply yeasts today once Morehouse gets here. The color is fabulous. Will keep you posted of developments.
