Put a cork in it.

The bottling event today in Vinoland went well.
The filler being faster than the corker meant that there was, at one point, a bit of a pause. Far from this being a problem, it allowed me, and Vinomaker, to do some quick QC checks before continuing.
Afterwards much wine and food was consumed on our deck.
All in all, it was a very pleasant August afternoon.

You needed your 'A' team there.

Weston: It's quite a bit of work but it is a lot of fun.

Thud: I can't always get the 'A' team, sometimes they are otherwise occupied...or on another continent.

The reason the moth entered your ear is there is such a brilliant light inside your head. I'm sending out the distress signal to "Super Vinogirl", superhero. To pick or not to pick next weekend, or to wait 2 weeks, that is the question. Here's the scenario. I'm at 22 brix. pH = 3.63 Acid = .787 What would you suggest?
