初釀於九月

一杯濁酒喜相逢
吾髮亦白矣
仍戀秋月，仍慕春風
雖糟粕滾滾，飲者默默
信人間猶有佳釀存

（今將李子酒檸檬酒濾去糟粕，更瓶再釀，並以小杯取濁醪淺酌之。色艷而味甘，雖非蘭陵美酒，亦頗得玉碗琥珀之意）。

抱著酒壇子踉蹌而行，謂之「醉」。

止則操卮執觚，動則挈榼提壺。唯酒是務，焉知其餘。～ 劉伶，酒德頌

今天把第一次釀的檸檬酒換桶，開始第二階段發酵。
Siphoned my 1st homemade lemon wine to a new carboy to start the 2nd fermentation today.

試喝了半杯，哇，好強！從我的醺然程度判斷，酒精濃度至少超過10%.
I drank a half cup of the half product - it was unexpectedly strong😮😁! The taste is not great (yet) but there is no doubt lots of alcohol. The hydrometer sank right to 0.990 sg, so I thought it was malfunctioning at first; but judging from the warm and dizzy feeling I was getting I deduced that the hydrometer worked just fine. (I lacked the reading before fermentation necessary to calculate ABV, but I guess it must be over 10%).

第二階段發酵結果如何，得邊走邊瞧。同時我開始釀第二桶。
I'll have to wait and see how the 2nd fermentation proceeds. In the meantime I started another batch.

I ordered and learned stuff from Winemakers Depot. It's a great one-stop service.
