Zin Cap's Fallen

The cap (of skins, seeds, etc) fell this morning - meaning fermentation is either done or very close to being done.  We immediately put an airtight lid on it, then sprayed in a bit of CO2 to protect the must.  Now it's officially in extended maceration; will probably keep it that way until we press the Cab (this is in the name of efficiency: renting the press once is simply easier than renting it twice.)

While at it, we checked the Cabernet - it's still actively fermenting away, and is now down to 1/2 sugar depletion.  That's a bit later than ideal to add Fermaid K, but we did at a slightly smaller amount: Should be 1 tsp / 7 gallons at 1/3 sugar depletion, BUT I added about 1 tsp / 10 gallons at 1/2 sugar depletion.
