I started work at 2:00 am Wednesday morning and finished at 12:30 am this morning (Thursday). It was our first day of harvest and I have a lot to blog about. Here is a list of upcoming topics:
- Sour berry problem, worse with clones P4 and 2A. Not as bad with 777
- What's the difference between clones (777 was ripest)
- Back to sorting again. What are the disadvantages. I've heard there's a great discussion about sorting at Harlan I need to find
- We hand sorted every single cluster today to eliminate sour berries.
- Adding sulfur, how much and best method
- Cold soak -- advantages and disadvantages
- Letting grapes sit for hours before crushing/destemming. Any problems here?
- mixing clones prior to fermentation -- how to avoid
I'm exhausted.
