*Apple Wine was re-racked today before I started the grape wine
The apple wine was last racked on 10/31, over one week ago. There was only a slight buildup of lees, barely any volume. Clarity has gone up, and standard racking procedures were followed to rack from carboy to carboy.
Bottom carboy foaming up from the residual Star San used to clean:
Auto Siphon in the top carboy.
Lees remaining in the carboy:
Campden tablet was not added as 1 tablet had already been added in the prior racking. Specific gravity was also not measured as wine was at 0.995 last time, and should be very close, if not already, to completely dried wine. This wine should probably sit for 1 month, in order to clear more and fine up. It seems to be taking longer as no fining/ clearing agents were used. Carboy was put back into insulation like so. Next check should be after New Year.
