Well I got around to racking my melomel again, finally. I've been
meaning to do it for the past few days. Took a small taste and was
happy although this one will be bulk ageing for a good long time.

The Demon Cat "Shcoda" (That is Russian for Rascal) watches for his chance to snatch some wine

The SG is down to 1.000. It is dropping slowly but surely.I am pretty
sure that I will sweeten this after stabilizing once fermentation is
finished.

Pete,


I haven't seen a stopper like that before. Does George sell them?


Also, I like the looks of the Melomel and the Demon Kitty. I have one of those too. You can tell them because their eyes glow like mad when you get their picture. Mine is especailly bad. His name is Max-AKA-Kitty.

Sorry , it's a little blurry. I didn't photoshop the eyes- they came out like that. Kitty and the Boss.

The stopper is a multi size and yes George has them although I didnt
get that one from George. At least I beleave that the ones I've seen
listed in the catalog are the same. My cat here seems to think it's his
task in life to make wine making as difficult as possible. His greatest
joy is to attack my racking tube.
 
I forgot to tell you that I just used the multi size upside down as I was running out of stoppers.
