Buggy Moving Ferments are Cranking – Bathtub Winemaking Project Day 11 Episode 1


Guiding ferments during the peak of ferment requires wisdom & agility.
There is an infinite number of actions you can take & an equal number of things that can go wrong!

Watch the fast forward action of the daily fermentation management with explanations at the beginning, and, 6min 25sec mark.

Kicking off with the secret sauce, not really, but something pretty tasty. The condensation that forms insides fermenters has a superb taste, kinda like a mild spirit.

We do what we can to save as much of it as possible and get it back into the ferment!

Today, we’re racking and returning the big bathtub, draining all the fermenting wine off, then aerating it to help get rid of Hydrogen Sulphide, and, help the yeast get stronger.

Check out the footage at the end showing aeration through the pump & hoses, and, the action as we return the wine.
