Mechanical Contractor

I use them in the smoker or use them in the grille.

First a superb Italian "Vino De Casa" 2012 followed by a nano-distilled Pennsylvania Bourbon

I used extra light DME, I did not really notice any flavors from it but the resulting wine had lots of body.

I used DME on an Orange-Chocolate port type wine. The lady at the home brew shop thought I had lost my mind. It did seem to add body.

Um.... Are you talking about the tractor or my wife?:wy

Yes you did, Thanks Dan!

My several years long restoration project is nearly finished! 1949 McCormick-Deering Farmall Cub.

54 mostly 6 gallon size, 45 full ones, I think i need to get bottling!

Well Mario is now in the wine cellar filled with hot water checking for leaks. Luigi is in the cellar waiting to be leak checked. I will be filling both tomorrow with a California Petite Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend. Its kind of exciting, I've never used barrels before.

Dan, I ended up buying that exact one, the one with the window and remote control. I love the remote control but the window gets smoked over and you cannot see through it within one half hour of smoking. Other than that it is an excellent smoker.

Angelina, Mario is the fatter one on the left. Yes they are the ones you admired at Presque Isle. They were sitting in the main sales area patiently waiting for me to adopt them.

They are 15 gallon American oak, medium toast, purchased at Presque Isle Wine Cellars along with 90 gallons of Chilean juices.

Meet my new twins, Mario and Luigi! I am excited to start working with barrels.

Sadder yet is someone got upset because their FATHER took a couple beers? I'd like to have the chance to share a couple beers with mine.

2012 Barolo, shared with the wife then a 2013 elderberry. The Barolo was excellent, the elderberry........ passable. Honestly my first batch of elderberry was my best one so far! I really wish I could remember how I made it. I have 3 bottles left, one will be opened on my birthday this year and...
