I've never considered starting at the beginning of fermentation. I've always heard to start towards the end or shortly after completion of fermentation before sulfite additions.

It will be aged in 100 Liter VC tanks.

I have done both in the past. I thought they turned out really well.

Picking up my Chilean juice today at Consumer's Produce in the Strip District today. 24 gallons of Carmenere and 24 gallons of Syrah. Will be using RC-212 yeast and oaking with Medium American Oak. MLF will be started toward the end of fermentation.

Weather didn't cooperate for jumping on Saturday. I scheduled a half day tomorrow from work and will be there at 10:00 am to complete my jump.

Well it's that time of year. Taking an AFF - Assisted Free Fall course tomorrow April 1. Weather and time permitting I believe we be jumping after the class. Looking forward to this...

Wish I would have seen this post earlier than yesterday. I would have surely contributed to see John wearing a Welches T-Shirt. LOL, congratulations Rich.

Got to meet Rocky and his Son in Law this afternoon. Very nice folks, we chatted about wine making and enjoyed some 2015 Elderberry wine. If I decide to let anything else go, I'll be sure to let you know. I look forward to enjoying the wine you shared with our family.

Carboys are SOLD. Thanks Rege and Gene.

They are still available.

Hoping to do some organizing in the cellar this weekend as well as get my 12 gallons of Concord Niagra blend bottled.

Just got my bill. $140 for 1000 1+1 corks, $100 die charge as a one time fee and $40.40 in shipping to Pittsburgh from Napa CA. Shipping was 59 last time I ordered.

Corks were $140 per 1000 for the 1+1 and another $100 for the branding. The branding fee is a one time fee though.

I decided I was going to part with some of my carboys. Up for sale are 5-5 gallon and 5-6 gallon glass carboys. Asking $20 each for the 5's and $25 each for the 6's. Shipping is not an option. Located in Crafton, PA which is about 4 miles outside of Pittsburgh near Greentree.

Welcome back Troy, good to see your internet connection thawed out.

Forgot to post that my corks arrived. Kept it simple.

Bottled 12 gallons of my Catawba, Fredonia and Concord blend and mixed up my Concord Niagra blend.
