Cómo una bodega californiana está formando a la próxima generación de enólogos en plena crisis https://www.vinetur.com/20260507100338/sonoma-winery-opens-a-path-for-young-winemakers.html #vino #enología #bodega #vinoespañol #winemaking
After two weeks on the grape skin my wine has taken on a beautiful color and smell. Took it off the skins today and refilled the missing volume with more grape juice and a dash more yeast.

I figure that the act of taking wine off skins without proper siphoning probably oxidized it, but refermenting should de-oxidize it.
So now it's going to be another half week until that ferments out, and I can at last begin the process of aging it for ~8 months or more.

Random question for the Fediverse. can anyone recommend a refrasctometer for measuring sugar content (Brix), the use is for measuring honey (17-18%). But would be great if it could be used for beer/wine/alcohol making etc. (which I believe is a different percentage) #refractometer #beekeeping #winemaking #equipment
