Paul got us some great yeast for our cab:  D254 and FX10.  We were splitting a half ton evenly, and we ended up with 6 32-gallon trash cans full of must.  We decided that Dave & I would inoculate 2 cans with D254 and one with FX10, and then Paul would inoculate 2 cans with FX10 and one with D254.  I’m sure we’ll remember later and will be able to tell the difference, right?!  The stats on the must were as follows:  temp, 70 degrees F;  brix, average of 25;  TA, 8.5-9 g/L;  pH, about 3.5 average.

We noticed that there was some mold on top of the cap that was already forming before adding our yeast, and some spontaneous fermentation.  It had a funny smell of bananas … I hope we didn’t mess it up already!
