Frontenac's ripening

[Ron22]

We're just about an hour south of down town.

The place I work is in Pevely MO and I stay in Fento so I know the area you are in. (Based on your store address)

LOL not far away at all, 10 min

See I could have went and picked your Frontenacs and your wife would have been happy.

Then when I got home with the little amount my wife would ask is that Nortons? That cant be enough for 5 gallons!

LOL, just got done desteming between customers... ended up with about a 1/2 gallon of must.

Just got around to crushing the grapes, looks pretty sad, a half gallon is almost not worth it..lol. but it's the first harvest.
Brix came out to 24.6 which converts to 1.104 SG. pH is 3.14. Dont have enough to test for TA. put in a pinch of k-meta.
Will pitch some 71b when I get home tomorrow.
When done, I expect to get maybe a bottle out of it...LOL

Wife is giveing me that look that I get when I buy more parts for my Mustang.
