    Welcome to WMT. You should see my bathroom . In the warm months, it all outside. Come cold weather, it's the bathroom winery. You would be suprised at what you can put in a small space. Just trying to egg you on, but I do realise space is a concern. Save your dad's wine logs...

    Forgot to add yeast to Parsnip Wine - Please help

    Grew up with wood stoves. Off the center hallway. It was always 90 degrees F. In the whole house. Had to open the Windows at night. Miss that though. Heat pump sucks. Off point though.

    Old crocks for wimemaking

    I have never used one myself, but I'm sure it would work just fine as long as it's in in good shape. Cleaned and sanitized of course. It looks heavy though and that could problem if you need to lift or move it. Hopefully somebody will chime in that has used them.
