Picked my grapes this morning, wanted to wait a bit longer but the were starting to raisin, about 5%, Ended up picking 8 6gal buckets of grapes. Ran them thru the crusher/destemmer and ended up with 20 gal of clean must, added kmeta and sugar to get to 1.100 or 13% alcohol.

Numbers look really good. I like a bit of acidity in my hybrid grapes. What yeast are you using?
 
I picked from 25 vines, which are 6 years old. I will add Lavin Bourgovin RC 212 and after pressing will add a Malolactic culture. Will also put the carboys out in my shed during the winter for a good cold stabilization.

Oh wow... I might be in over my head if 25 vines produces 20 gallons :HB.
I planted 50 this year!
