Wine Watch 2014 – Day 2 – Foam

It’s day two of the magical Mini Wine Pak experiment! Let’s see what going on with the fermentation pouches.

Fermenty!

Well, this looks pretty much the same as yesterday. The chardonnay might be slightly lighter in colour, but I’m not sure. The pouches are bubbling quite a bit and there is a fair amount of foam forming on top of the liquid.

Foamy!

Is it supposed to be this foamy? Is that yeast floating on top of the foam? Is this turning into poison? I DON’T KNOW!
