Ah! The wine will get to age another week.:p Are their any specific labeling requirements?? Duh! Sorry found it.:slp

On The Fence Okay I've been following this for awhile and not sure if I should try to run with the Big Dogs or keep my puppy a$$ on the porch. I don't have anything note worthy to submit that could vie with an aged Amarone or the like or even anything with the proper age on it. I do have a Cab...

You are the man John! I can't even imagine such an event. :slp

That's good to know. The price seemed very good, too good to be true compared to the oak. I started to read up on them and they say they should be close but I wouldn't risk the cost of the barrell or the wine either unless I was confident of the outcome.:re

Friday night after work picked up my California juice and grapes. 4 pails of juice and a lug of petite sirah. Saturday made wine then floated in the pool. Sunday punched down and stirred then floated in the pool, cleaned up some over flow, took about a gallon out to give me some more head...

I was at the LHBS the other day and noticed they were selling Chesnut barrells. Anyone have any knowledge or experiance with them??

+1 that is also what I do and unless I have something better I use the same method to label the bottles. :D

Chronologically, I'm 61. Mentally, I still feel like I'm 17. Physically, sometimes I feel like a hundred.;)

I've made the Mezza Luna red and while I thought it was ok I found it to be a bit thin. Not a repeater for me. Just my 2 cents.

Well it's back to the old grind this morning but over the weekend I racked 4 carboys of the Chilian Syrah and one of Dragon's Blood. Went out to dinner with my two brothers in law. Yesterday we baby sat for our two granddaughters. It was a nice weekend. :i

If we're counting Dragon Blood, I just started a 6 gal. batch. 2327+6=2333. :i

Same thing happened to me the first time out. I went to a harware store and picked up a couple of spares and waited till I racked to the carboy then retrieved the lost grommet.:re

First Batch Okay I don't know what took me so long but I started my first batch of DB on Saturday. I went with double the fruit but without the bag and it has an honest to goodness cap I've been punching down twice a day. I also skipped the Tannin because I went with oak chips in the primary...

My brother in law who had been brewing beer and convinced me we should try making wine gave me a link. The rest is history.:D
