Batch 37: 2018 Maple dregs


Batch Timeline
Batch # Batch Type Date in Primary Date in Secondary Date Racked Date Racked Date Filled
# 37Montrachet 4/4/18 11/20/18 Racked 1 Racked 2 Bottled
Yeast Type: Montrachet
Ingredients: 1 gallon maple must, 1 tsp yeast nutrient, 1 packet of yeast
Comments:  Huge qty of yeast for the must, primary fermentation took off fast and finished in a few days.

11/20/18 Update:  I didn't see any other racking dates, so I think I'm getting this off the lees six months late.  It is super syrupy and sweet, like all my maple wines.  A very small batch, so had to decant it, down to about 3/4 gallon left.  Did not get a hydrometer reading this time.  It is still cloudy so I put it in the porch to see if I can "cold crash" it.  It will be a dessert wine.
