Hello Everyone from Dunnellon, Florida!
My name is Chris and I live in Dunnellon, Florida which is right outside of Ocala, and about an hour from Gainesville, Florida.
I found this forum while browsing apps on my android phone, and this evening is my first time visiting this site on my computer. I very proudly just finished bottling my first batch of Skeeter Pee, though there was not much left to bottle. Almost half was gone before I could get it that far. I just started this hobby at the beginning of this summer and could not have made it without this forum. I began with a single fruit kit, and now have expanded to carboys everywhere. I converted my garage a few years ago into a den, and it's a good thing!
In carboy, I currently have 6 gallons of Muscadine (Carlos, Fry, Dixie), 2 gallons of Muscadine infused Peach, 2 gallons of Muscadine infused Strawberry, 5 gallons of Blueberry - Blackberry - Raspberry, 6 gallons of Skeeter Pee which is ending up a variation of Dragon's Blood since I used the slurry from the three berry batch and it looks like I am going to add some of the wine to it too, and lastly, a one gallon batch of Grape Kool-aid. My boss's wife drinks nothing but Grape Kool-aid all day and doesn't like wine, so it is an experiment to see if we can make something she likes.
I am going to start a new Skeeter Pee this week because it so far has been a big hit, and I even messed it up!
I am really enjoying this community and if anyone is local to my area, let me know. You never know when having a fellow wine bug around may come in handy.
Here are pics of the finishing of my first batch and label.
