I was racking some Pinot today following cold stabilization (Finally! Some real cold weather here in the Pacific NW!). I noticed that some of the carboys threw a much heavier sediment that the others. They've been handled identically, other than the grapes with lesser sediment were picked about 10 days earlier. The original Brix/acid numbers are about the same on the two groups. Both groups were racked following primary, and haven't been racked since. They've both gone through ML since being racked. Both groups are Pinot Noir, don't know about clonal varieties.
So, not that it matters that much, but more out of curiosity, any ideas why one set would throw more gunk than the other?
