This Saturday is Grapefruit wine day!

Here’s what we need to get done (hopefully):

1: Grapefruit wine

• Wash, peel, and segment about 100 grapefruit(s?) and put it all in big straining bags
• Wash and sanitize winemaking equipment
• Run tests on the grapefruit juice (more on this later)
• Mix water and sugar in primary fermenter, lower in bags of grapefruit
• Crush campden tablets and add them (to stun the wild yeast and kill other possibly bad things)
• Bring the fermenter inside the house to warm up overnight (before adding yeast)

2: Limoncello

We’re going to make some Limoncello with Lemons, Citron, and Grapefruit. We’ll make three separate bottles, then try blending them later when they’re done.

3: Rack the Cab

If we have time and enough help, we’ll rack the 07 Cab into a new barrel, then wash out the old one

4: Eat/Drink/Party
