Season 1 and Season 2 of The Chosen. Up to Episode 6 Season 3.

Walker's shipment arrived today at LHBS; delayed by the heavy snows. 10 gal LaCrescent, 5 gal each Seyval, Vidal, Frontenac Gris, and Vignoles.

Bought an almost 50 year old 28' sailboat that I am rehabbing and learning to sail. Might get back to sprint triathlons.

If I see sediment on the conical sides,, I will drum my fingers about the conical for a few days to help those bits slide down into the bulb. Have stopped adding bentonite when using the conical fermenter.

Two 6 gallon buckets of freshly crushed and destemmed Chambourcin from 20 miles away, ~110#. Going to add yeast and nutrient this evening. And rob the kitchen of a potato masher.

I don't know my final TA, don't measure. RC212 was my yeast. I don't do MLF. If it's too tart, I'll add a little potassium bicarb until the boss tells me it's ok.

Good choice for dry red

For commercial equipment, makes heat transfer more straight forward, and agitation. For home use, not a big deal. Both tall and thin, and short and fat, are frowned upon industrially.

I design distillery equipment. Rule of thumb for fermenters is equal diameter to height.

Carefully pull those corks. Some of mine shot up to the ceiling. My wife was not amused and it was more mess to clean up. Wrap a dish towel around to ease the corks out.

I have 5 gallons of 2021 Baco Noir just about ready to bottle. My taste testers said there was a bit of fizz that needs to be removed. Their LaCrescent is very good. Trying to tame 5 gallons of Amorella also. LHBS normally makes the trip there in October.

Have made LaCrescent from Walker's two years in a row. It's a favorite. I prefer the QA23 to D47, but both work well.

Ditto for the RJS Argentine Trio

I keep the cap with the bottle and let the sleeve remain. Not all the threads are interchangeable. Garth Brooks sings Ask Me How I Know.

This is my label from a recent batch of Island Mist: Sex On The Beach. Renamed Easy Breezy and featuring our sailboat. I use the Avery software, and print on 8&1/2x11 full sheet at Staples. My wife says 4 per page is best as when I made 6 per page they were too small.

Normally add 2 lbs sugar to the primary mix just to bump up the ethanol. Make these to give away; makes people smile.

Bogle Petit Syrah is a good everyday drinker in my opinion, and widely available.

Too early to tell yet. Just wanted to move away from EC1118.

Batch of LaCrescent started Monday with D47. Argentine trio made with D47 in secondary.

Fond of the reds from Williams.
