Ahem, a lack of buckets to process the whole trailer load; enough for the brewing of the juice. Tetris.

Eeeeek, added sulphites to kill off some mould growth and only one bucket had a strong fermentation started: should not be a problem, aerated the juice and will if necessary rack it off to reduce sulphur dioxide content. But, and it’s a shock, I am seeing Brix (sugar content) at 14%! How can that be, 2.5 times what I would expect. Managed to capture an image of the refractometer and posted it below.
