Syrah - Day 7

Quick update:
The weather's been cold and the wine's progress has been inching along as a result. Today's numbers are for the 32 gallon fermenter 62 degrees F and 13.5 Brix. For the 20 gallon fermenter 62 degrees F and 13 Brix. Lastly, the 5 gallon batch is at 61 degree F and 12 Brix. Since we're hoping to see temperatures as much as 20 degrees higher than those, drastic measures need to be taken. I'm off to Target to get us an electric blanket to wrap the fermenters in and get those temperatures up with some mechanical aid.
