REALITY?: Racking

092607rMoving wine from one carboy (glass jug) to another to siphon out the clearer wine, attempting to leave behind the lees (sediment) at the bottom.  The wine is still working (fermenting) at this point ( 3 weeks) so that the movement of gasses will continue to clarify the wine for the next 3 months.  Some, such as the crabapple, will likely be ready to bottle at that time while the others may need longer.

Can’t help thinking after this month of handwashing jugs, jars, pots, pans, bowls, etc. how nice it would be to have use of the dishwasher I bought last year.  Unfortunately, it’s at my Dad’s house which now belongs to my sister.
