Oct 5

Ambient temperature is 52°, it is a crisp and cool Fall day. I am concerned with a smooth fermentation in such cool temperatures, (it will frost tonight – not good). So we moved the must inside to our living room. Our house stays around 60-68°, still not the ideal 85°, but better than outside.

Innoculated with Lalvin Bourgovin RC 212 yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), purchased during my last visit to Napa Fermentation Supply. Mixed well with my cement mixer, I mean punch down apparatus. Must temperature: 58°.
