Time to rack the 18 gallons of Shiraz wine that was started back in October.  Coming along nicely with great aroma and taste.  Took the Oak spirals out as I think it has enough oak.

Process is to rack from stainless steal variable capacity vat to food grade buckets.  After clean out the Vat, put the wine back in and make any adjustments needed.  After taking PH, TA and SO2.  Needed to make some minor adjustments to SO2, PH and TA were good.  Put the lid back on, sealed it up and will check again in 3 months.
