2017 Riesling Clearing
I racked the Riesling over the weekend. In some of the carboys, acid precipitated out, collecting at the bottom along with the spent yeast. The winery temperature sometimes drops into the low 40s during very cold times in the winter. That plus the March snowstorm power outage may explain the acid precipitation, which I generally consider to have a positive effect on the wine. Overall, I am pleased with the progress of the wine.
