Did Harford notify you, how anout the grapes?
I’m not sure if you realize it, but there’s actually more places in the world who sell grapes and juice aside from Hartford (I’m done fixing auto correct to remove the ‘t’) from here on out!
Did Harford notify you, how anout the grapes?
Sorry, you may have gotten you from New Jersey
Nice pH numbers, just curious why the SG was so low. Assuming you stirred it up a bit before you tested. Most of my juice buckets are usually in the 1.085 to 1.090 range. Maybe mine are being adjusted before I get them, though I would think the label would say "added sugar".Picked up two Cab sauv and one Shiraz SA juice buckets today along with natural corks and a few pack of rc212.
pH 3.54 on the cab and 3.56 on the shiraz.
All three buckets are showing zero activity, will taste once they warm up a bit.
SG was only 1.070 on all three, will be bumping that a bit.

I would be adding a little bit of sugar to that, as well. It might go up a couple more points as it warms. I belive last year, I had to add some sugar to mine to get them to where I wanted to be to start, but we are dealing with memory for that and I have consumed alcohol since then.After I mixed the buckets together and stirred thoroughly SG is 1.082.

Yeah, didn't think of that, you jogged my memory. I had a White Zin bucket that was going full tilt by the time I opened it (could hear gas escaping through the rubber valve on the bucket the whole way home from Harford).Is it possible that ferment has already started with the wild yeast. My Cab bucket from last year decided to start without me...

Does anyone think it's strange that the juice buckets come in before the grapes? I would have thought it would be the other way around.
I wondered that myself, but grapes might require different handling & shipping methods than the buckets making them take longer. Produce vs juice?Does anyone think it's strange that the juice buckets come in before the grapes? I would have thought it would be the other way around.
