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
