Racked ~7 gallons of Cabernet Sauvignon pyment to stainless kegs. Grape skins were moved to the large keg and I'll remove them in ~ 4 weeks.
Gravity checks on marshmallow bochet and pomegranate cherry mead... both are close to finished but need a few more days. Likely rack those next week.
Bochet for Solera project was racked from two separate 5 gallon carboys off the lees. I'm not sure but there might have been a bit of a pellicle haze in each. Both were racked under the haze and I sacrificed more than I wanted to try and avoid it. I have about 6 gallons of it to go to an oak barrel if it doesn't start up with some kind of pellicle in the carboys it was racked to. The two plastic carboys that they were racked out of have been cleaned and marked to note possible pellicle contamination.
