I racked the CC Austrian Zweigelt from the primary to secondary today and my, my there were a lot of gross lees left in the primary. Certainly this muck had to contain a lot of the thick, chewy, gooey, concentrated flavor so I used a dish towel and collander to drain the liquid from the solids. I had to squeeze it very similar to squeezing the mesh bag holding the remainder of the grape skins.
Does anyone else routinely squeeze the lees??????
