Racking went smoothly. Had to make up some volume after racking off the lees. I used some cheap Merlot I had on hand and some water. This gives a full 2 gallons still. Took a taste, Alcohol Level is real high (about 16.4% before topping up), I may sweeten it at the end to bring some flavor back, time will tell. But there is the underlying flavor of the Muscadine Noble grape. The Wine is completely dry with SG at 0.990. Added 1 Campden tablet per jug and Potassium Sorbate to hopefully stop the Yeast. Now to put it to rest for a couple of months.
We finished the top bar beehive!! But it doesn't look like we will have any inhabitants this year... We were on a few lists for getting swarming bees but an unusually low number of bees actually swarmed this year. buy whisky online
