Hi all, we picked up 120 lbs(6 lugs) of South African Cab Sauv grapes today from South Jersey Dist.. Wanted Pinotage but didn't reserve them early enough. The grapes look and taste great. Crushed earlier, temp is around 45f right now. Haven't checked ph, brix, etc yet waiting for it warm up. Added 2 grams of Kmeta.
My concern is, three of the lugs had considerable amount of what looked like dark mold on the protective paper sheet under the grapes. The grapes didn't have any visible mold, but they are dark and so was the mold. Doesn't have an odor.
Anything I should do beside the Kmeta?
Also picked up 108 lbs of Chilean Malbec grapes. No issues with these so far. Waiting for the must to get up to temp here as well.
