Sorry to hear about your job Wade. You sure you want to sell it? I remember how happy you were when you finished it.

brew belt is the way to go. You can slide it up or down the bucket to control temperatures.

I like to fish in good wether and have a freezer flu of venison for the bad. Nothing wrong with hunting or gathering.

Thanks for all of the well wishes. I'll be bringing some wine along. Hopefully we will stop at a few wineries along the way to NC.

Good luck on the jobs. I'll be married in a few more days. October 8 coming up fast.

A couple of hydrometers. You're going to break one as it's a sacrifice to the wine gods. A refractometer is nice to have as well.

If you want fast make beer. Wine takes time.

Don't worry about the camden tab if you already added yeast or you'll stick your ferment.

If you're using a new barrell you'll only want the wine in it for a very short time as it can get over oaked.

Congrats on the new job

A bit late but welcome and remember that winemaking is for procrastinators. Relax between the batches. Don't rush them. Just make sure the airlock is full and you're golden.

Thanks Rocky.

Been too busy with work to do much. Going to get some wine making done after the wedding. Only 25 more days to go.

Relax. Wine making is a procrastinator's hobby. Make some beer in between wine batches.

It happens. If you can get the rest of the bottles into the fridge, do so. Get that temp down. It could be refermenting or a change in barometric pressure or just some imperfect corks.

Canned some tomatoes and made some pickles today. Now I'm just waiting out the storm. Flash flood warnings have been issued. Just waiting for the winds. Good luck to all my friends out on the coastal areas.
