This weekend it was clear the Cab was completely done fermenting, and the Zin was either completely done or done fermenting but still going through malolactic . . . so we decided to press rather than risk too much oxygen contact.
The Cab pressed out a really clear 10 or so gallons.
The Zin's free run was REALLY sediment-laden, but the pressed stuff was very clear. In any case, we only got about 8 gallons out of it.
We added 50 ppm potassium metabisulfate, and put in carboys with airlocks such that the gunk can settle to the bottom for us to rack out in about a month.
