Pinot Chardonnay<\/h2>\n

Day 20 of the Pinot Chardonnay.\u00a0 Not much to report other than it has moved along exactly as\u00a0 per the instructions. The brew belt keeping the carboy at a pretty constant 20\u00b0C and the gravity was right on target.\u00a0 It now looks like wine and pretty much tastes like wine.\u00a0 I \u00a0 I added potassium metbisulphate (“antioxidant, antioxidase and antiseptic agent against micro-organisms. It gives better phenol stabilisation” – it may also stop fermentation, but my brief researches were inconclusive on that).\u00a0 It now has to be stirred every few hours to degas before adding the finings and putting in its last resting place before bottling next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t

I also moved along the rice and raisin.\u00a0 When I decanted it in to a demijohn I found I had slightly underestimated the volume.\u00a0 Lesson learned there.\u00a0 The gravity was 1.040 so I whipped up some 1040 sugar water and popped it in.\u00a0 The rice wine has a lovely condensed milk colour at the moment, so I suspect it will be rather pale once the fermentation has worked itself out.<\/p>\n
