Limited time: squeeze skins bag early?

[ShepherdQ]

Yesterday (Saturday) I started a RJS Cellar Classic Winery California Cab Sav, which comes with wet wine skins. I likely won't be able to stir the must or squeeze the bag til Friday, when it should be nearly done and ready to rack. Can I squeeze the bag this eve, after just 24 hours? It'll help, right, but will I be covering up the yeast before they have a chance to get going?

I think that'll be fine. You may want to weigh the bag down so those skins stay submerged though.

Thanks Boatboy. I guess that's where the sanitized marbles that everyone talks about come in?

A sanitized heavy "rocks" glass works well.
