Racking Ahoy!

1. Work Party Update
Just an update for those coming to join in the work on the first racking.
Priority is managing waste and top-up with priority over varietals in the drums.
a) Crew Bottegaio - 08.30am in the winery.
Starting with the SanGiovese, "rack" via pumping, clean as you go - no spare equipment.
As needed, assist Crew Demijon.
Manage top-up and waste.
b) Crew Demijon - 10.30am in the winery.
Split crew in two, each sub-crew (Demi & Jon) to take a varietal and decant it using siphoning. No pump! Work from "first to last" as we've always done, paying attention to the order of the demijons. Offer managed odd quantities to Crew Bottegaio for their top-up, using what you've siphoned first.

Lunch
Watch for email on what to bring, unless we keep it simple with a huge pot of pasta, cheese and salamis.
