What's that old saying? "Many a truth is spoken in jest". :D

Petite Syrah is becoming my favorite and I just had a similar experience. Picked up my juice pails and usually wait 24 hours while they come up to room temp before I start my process. Well got home about 7PM from the supplier and brought my buckets down into the basement to get ready for the...

Getting There slowly but surely. Not 100% yet but a 1000% better than right after the surgery. Sucks getting old, round as I am can't bounce back the way I used to. ;)

Well I haven't checked in for a while. I've been busy trying to finish some home projects before my return to work. I'm back to work as of last week for the first time since my brain surgery in March. It's good to be back (Not). :) But I did get to bottle my Petite Syrah form last fall that...

Lost my Dad when I was only 23 years old. I'd give anything to have a couple hours like that with him now. Cherish the moments.

Ditto folks enjoy the day. ;)

That sounds like a great plan. I know that the ones I give away would still be appreciated and it would preserve my stockpile from getting too quickly depleted as happens now. I'll have to try that.

Sounds great. Enjoy! :D

John I'm curious, how much of an effect do you think that last 5 gallons would make on the rest of the wine if you were to add it in and how do you treat the separated wine??:?

Glad I pulled the trigger. I added the second step of nutrient and energizer today and it's moving along quite nicely. :D

Makes me think of my granddaughter. Out of the mouths of babes. :D

Okay. Couldn't wait for the grapes so I picked up 4 pails of Syrah juice on Sunday. Pitched the BM4X4 last night and still waiting for it to kick off. Guess I'll have to try a tweak or two later on but I just couldn't wait. :d

I'll be going with a Syrah/Shiraz again although this time I'll be going with BM4X4 and VP41. I used either EC1118 or Premiere Curve last time around and this will be my first MLF. :D

Have you pitched the RC212 and the VP41 together before?? I'm curious because I will be doing MLF on this batch for the first time and I was under the impression that the preferred method was to pitch the MLB after the must was racked off the gross lees???:?

They're killing my schedule.:slp

Hope everything is working out. I can sympathize. I'm sick of going to doctors and hospitals at this point. :sh

OOWE Baby! :D

Ditto. Gives me more time to clear the decks. :h

I needed that. :)

Yeah I think at that point you just have to keep checking. Last year I didn't get an email notification like I did the previous year but I'll be watching out for them. ;)
