10/31 Day 8 - Halloween

Today was the day we went from Stage 1 to Stage 2.

At the beginning of this process, the wine is still streaming tiny bubbles at a good clip.

We check and record the Specific Gravity for our notes.

We set up the tubes going from the racking cane in the larger demi-john down tubes into the smaller demi-john on the floor.

Here's a larger picture of the tubing setup.

And a yet larger picture of everything (including me!)

The wine is now in its new home.

Time to add the oak sawdust!

Erp, the wine didn't like the oak much!
