This is the mixing tank that we pumped 4 barrels into.

Brian and Bill pump the Beaujolais that needs more malo-lactic fermentation into an oak barrel.

Pumping the wine from oak to stainless.  The pump is slightly off of the bottom of the barrel so that it won't pull out the sludge too.

Jack and Sam sampling some of the "sludge" at the bottom of the barrel.

And this is the liquid part.  When we rinsed out the barrels cakes of pink chalky stuff came out!

Logging and tasting.
