CC's not so fine WINE diary

[CrealCritter]

Persimmon wine coming along just fine, settling nicely. Probably rack again in a few weeks to get the wine of lees and add bentonite to clarify also degas at the same time. So far, most definitely a easy wine to make.

About time to rack off the lees (dead yeast, pulp, etc) and add bentonite to clarify the wine. It's darkened up considerably since I racked it the first time. It's starting to look like candy in there 😂

Wife teases me about putting a shirt over the carboys. She says I'm keeping the baby warm. No... It's so the wine does not get light stuck. It needs to stay in the dark.

Still in the secondary aging. Looking good though. Will need to rack again soon.

No better time to be alive than today!

Should I? There's enough for a good 3 gallon batch.
