Ok, I'll admit it , I was in a rush, and totally blew off the brix reading before I pitched my yeast and went away for two days. I don't know why I did this. I KNEW the brix was at 30 . Anyway, its now the Day 4 and my readings are SG=1.012 @ 70 degrees F down from 1.122, Brix level = 2.5, and the PA is at 1.5 % down from an inital 16. I'm waiting for the PA to go down to at least .995 before I initiate MLF. Does anybody have any idea what I can expect from this mess? I'm leaning towards the idea that I'm going to be able to clean car parts with it.
Merlot, Brix, and........oops!

Not to be facisious but I guess you will get what you get. Probably somewhere between 11 and 14%. With no idia what the original reading was you really can not determine what you have unless you want to send it off to a lab. Just enjoy what you get. ;o)
