Day 5!? When do you plan on pressing?

My preference is to press after a couple days (or up to half way fermented) so I get color and tannin extracted but also so it can finish up in an enclosed environment with a good co2 blanket. Too much risk of oxidation and spoilage for my taste otherwise

seems to be fine just keep monitoring sg and rack at 1020 or less.
