Chris's Costco-Pino Grigio/Chardonnay - Friday, February 27, 2026 - 2 Kits
Hope to get both of these Costco kits going today. Yeast pitched at 10 am and 11 am. I topped it up to 25 L instead of 23. I did it before and I really liked the wine as it was light and refreshing. No gravity check because I know it will be around 10% if it gets down to .996 - .998. It is .992. RACK TO CARBOYS ON FRIDAY MARCH 13 Next Morning - 22C - Heater seems to be always on when I visit them. Day 2 - 22 F. Day 3 - Too warm - 75F. Turned down wall heater.

Day 9 - Very close to being done. Day 14 - .992 to .994. Always hit this exact reading with Costco wine kits. It will be around ...
