Homebrew Wednesday #7: Mango Update!

Hey, chums. Remember my Mango Adventure? Since my primary vessel was so sludgy and pulpy and just plain strange looking, I thought it was time to rack the mango-mystery into a secondary vessel and try to get it away from such heavy amounts of particulate matter and try to make it at least look drinkable.

And the pulpy stuff was weird looking, did I mention that?

Anyway, I stripped off the ass-load of tape I put around the stopper to hold it in place and sanitized one of my lengths of tube to use as a siphon. It was weird pushing through that heavy layer of pulp, and the more liquid I siphoned out the smaller the space between the head-pulp and the bottom-of-the-jar pulp got. I racked off nearly three liters of wine and filled the secondary vessel, which is a slighter smaller bottle. I thought that was a pretty good amount considering how much liquid I almost certainly lost to the pulp-raft.

Haha, PULP RAFT!
