Hey All;

Thanks for the advice, you all have confirmed my suspicions; winemaking is a
forgiving art learned over time. The racking pull off just fine the SG was
down to 1.01 by the time we got around to it, and even the cruddy looking
liquid (I haven't learned the proper vocabulary yet) tasted good, the dog
was licking the floor where I missed the jug after pulling the siphon, and I
got a mouthful when it started.

Hopefully in a couple years I'll be able to contribute back for the
knowledge I'm gleaning from the group.
