I have just started a Cellar Craft Silver California Merlot with 1.5 liters virgin crushed California Merlot grape pack. After stirring the must for a good 3 min., the SG came up to 1.080 and the temp. was 76/F. so I pitched the yeast.
I stretched the bag (for the grape pack) over a ½ gal bucket and held it in place with a rubber band. I dumped the grape pack into the bag but I didn’t get all the jam into the bag, so I added about 1 cup of warm water to the jam in an attempt to get more jam out. What do ya’ll do?
In a few days I am going to need to remove the grape pack. How do ya’ll get the pack out without taking too much juice with it? Sanitize my hands and squeeze?
