Thanks

Went and picked up my next kit. This kit has the skins also. As soon as I rack the Cab Sauvignon into the carboy I will start this one.

Thanks. Yes it is EC 1118.

I am around half way through fermentation. Do I need to add Go-ferm and Fermaid-k to my must. It is a kit wine.

Been six days. Down to 1.048.

Don’t have anything like that near me.

Wood lathe is my favorite. I have a small one that I can turn a 12 inch bowl on. I would love to have a larger one.

I have been known to be a good eater.

What are some of your other hobbies? I like to shoot, reload and woodworking.

I’ll have to try the spin on my next reading.

Garage smells like wine. :)

I am sure most of you know but I thought I would post this for somebody new like me. I went down to Olive Garden and asked them about their empty wine bottles. The manager said they throw them away.

We will head up there next year. If I was to get 2 or 3 buckets would they last fermenting one at a time or would I need to get a couple more fermentation buckets and ferment them all at the same time?

Not ready yet. My wine area is very small right now but should have room to expand next year. This is my winery. Lol

1d10t thanks for the link. I can make it there in about 2.5 hours. It would be a fun drive. How long will it be good in the bucket before fermentation?
