No need to wash the fruit guys.

Did you really wash your grapes? Looks perfectly normal but like the others said, you should definitely top up the carboys.

New 55L Tonnellarie Berthomieu French barrel arrived today and looks beauty! Thanks for the recommendation on Watsons Fred.

Just placed an order for a 55L French Oak Tonnellarie Berthomieu barrel. I should have it on Monday. Hope it will be nice, I'll post some pics :)

I called and they are 100% legit. I might go for a 55L French oak barrel. I already have 1 55L French from Allary and it's really nice. Would like to try something different.

I have 2 year old sulfite... Just wondering your thoughts...?

Here is the pricelist. Keep in mind this is Canadian dollars so 30% on the USD http://www.watsons.ca/suppliesorderform.html They actually have French Oak as well that looks really interesting. Anyone heard of Tonnellarie Berthomieu? The French oak is significantly more expensive than the...

Thank you! I would probably be better off getting directly in Canada to avoid any customs/duties. I'll check out the company in Ontario.

Wonder if you can ship that barrel to Montreal Canada on my Fedex account?...

Anyone tried this one? https://morewinemaking.com/products/variable-speed-diaphragm-pump-03-gpm.html

Thanks. Is it the same as this model? https://www.amazon.ca/SHURFLO-4008-101-A65-Water-Pump-Revolution/dp/B00W5GCQC2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=shurflo+pump&qid=1570558231&sr=8-1

I have the enolmatic and it works great for me https://www.tenco.it/en/enolmatic-vacuum-filler

Question - what type of pump is that? I am in need of one badly. Does it work well pumping from fermenting bins to barrel/demijohn etc.?

Mike - did the taste before pressing. What a difference from the D254 to the D80. You we're spot on with the 254 being fruit forward/floral. The D80 completely different with big tannins and much less fruit.

D80 finished up finally and it was a great press weekend. Both wines look very promising.

Sounds good I'll give them a taste tonight.

Mike - I haven't done any tasting yet but will do soon after we press. Really looking forward to it, I have heard such great things about the D254/D80 combo and how they really compliment/balance each other so nicely.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
