I'm going to take your earlier advice and get something to measure temp and humidity. The space has always been dry, so I'm not too worried about that. There will be some temp fluctuations due to the seasons, but it shouldn't be too bad. If push comes to shove I can always wire up a...

Thanks Wade! Peace, Bob

There's still plenty of room...:D The crawlspace is broken up into 2 11'X20' sections. The part I'm using is the part closest to the entrance, and there's still 14' left behind me to use when I took the picture. I still have the other side to use, but then it becomes a bit more...

Before... POOF... I'd better get crack'n on some more, I don't have enough room for my montepulciano and blackberry. :d Peace, Bob

All mine have done that, more than likely the wine is still de-gassing a bit, so you'll get un-equal pressure on one side. It will even out eventually, but it will still fluctuate depending on temperature increase/decrease, even weather (if a storm's coming). Peace, Bob

I know the crawlspace maintains the most constant temp...I'll have to check out the humidity. I never run my air conditioner, so it should be the same/or better than the rest of the house. The crawlspace is at the same level as my family room. It's an open concept tri-level, so think of a big...

I've been working on storage solutions the past couple of weeks, (I've got wine coming out of my ears). Here's some of the racks I've built for my crawlspace, it's 3ft high with a concrete floor, and it's insulated. I'll take pics of it when I have it cleaned up (hopefully this week)...

I like that! I was thinking of doing something humorous...some kind of "Crazy Bob" theme. I couldn't come up with anything I liked, so I went the opposite way. I'm still going to play around with the crazy Bob theme...it's not like any of this is set in stone. Peace, Bob

I'd be interested in these...my mother and aunt love wine, but can't uncork the bottles themselves anymore...this would be a good solution for them. Peace, Bob

I don't think artistic talent has anything to do with this...I thought I could draw a decent logo...I was wrong (you don't want to see what I tried to draw). I thought I could incorporate free images off of the web to utilize in my labels...I was mistaken. I went back to basics...the name of...

They should be easy enough to remove with a scraper, I'll have to do some tests. Thank you. Peace, Bob

Cut vinyl for labels? I have access to a vinyl cutter at work, and thought this might make a neat idea. By the way, my last name begins with an S, hence the S on the bottle. :D Peace, Bob

Two Labradors...one black, one yellow. Peace, Bob

Welcome fellow Hoosier!! Peace, Bob

Red, Black, Green, or Gold? I just need to know how much to budget. :d Yah, I'm kinda on vacation this week. Peace, Bob

*sip* Very refreshing, chilled, after mowing the lawn... Now it's laundry time, plus I'm starting an Italian Montepulciano kit I picked up yesterday. Peace, Bob Edit...forgot the hammock...the dogs can't work the camera, so you'll have to settle for a pic without me.

The sorbate should have been bag #3 that came with the kit...if you've already done step 3, that's the step when you add the K-meta and sorbate, along with what ever clarifying agent they have included. As far as flavoring it...I would wait until it's done clarifying, and then taste it...

Can you give me a metric conversion...just to be on the safe side. I really appreciate that. :: Peace, Bob

Just to be clear...I don't know what pearson's square is...I just did the math..if you use 12% at 22 parts, and 40% at 6 parts it will yield 18%. Like I said...your math looks OK. I'm actually drinking tequila right now...if that makes any difference. It's Blanco, if that helps. I...

Your math seems correct...assuming the wine is 12% abv and the vodka is 40% abv. Peace, Bob
