How many carboys do you own?

[dragonmaster42]

Right now I'm hooked 4-5 gal, 3-1gal
but soon to be addicted. I have 3-5 gal in the mail. Come on UPS!!!

 

[dfwwino]

I've got 8 six gallon carboys, 6 five gallon carboys, and 3 three gallon carboys. And then about 10 one gallon apple juice jugs for one gallon batches.

 

[Tom]

I have 26- 6gallon carboys aging.

Only 4 empty

 

[LindseyGrapes1]

We have 10-6 gallons, 4-5 gallons, 2 3-gallons and about 10 1-gallon jugs. That's just plain crazy!...no matter how you look at it. Especially when they are full more than they are empty at any time of the year!

 

[Darryl]

I have been at this wine making for less than year...11 6 gal. 4 6-1/2 gal., and they are all full... I need more glass!!!!!!!

 

[rrawhide]

I have way too many - unused


Anyway, my totals are:


8 - 1's
4 - 2.8's
6 - 3's
15 - 5's
1 - 6's
6 - 6.5's


but, I bought 18 from a old time winemaker who got too old and did not want to continue.
I was able to get them all for $5 each - and theyare all mexican and a few italian and all in boxes. This was a score!!


BUT, 2009 harvest is here so will use quite a few of them soon.


running out of room - - -


later

I just moved from "hooked" to "addictied" when I found six 5 gallon jobbies for $20 each that I picked up locally. My wife is moving beyond concerned...

Soon you will grab pebble from hand grasshopper!

I sure hope not! That would mean it was time for me to go, Master.

Smart Man that George.

Maybe it's time for a new version of the poll. See how we're coming along.

 

[Danny]

In the "Hooked" section, almost in the Addicted. Have just enough, though, to keep my supply going at an adequate rate.

 

[Wade E]

Thats what I said 8 carboys ago!!!!

 

[AlFulchino]

a better question for me is how many have a i broke...and to that i would add what is the worth of the wine i have lost when i have dropped or had other accidents when i have broken carboys....last week i had something fall on a carboy that had 900 dollars of wine in it.....ooh ouch! 'had' being the operative word!

 

[ibglowin]

Tax write off for you my good friend!

 

[bcfryer]

What is your basis for the 900 in value lost?

 

[ibglowin]

Sine Al has now gone commercial and sells his wine, he knows exactly what a carboy of his wine is worth.

 

[AlFulchino]

yep it was 900 retail...and all of it would have sold in short order ugh..what ya gonna do...things happen...to top it all off i had to clean the mess

 

[ibglowin]

Blame it on the cellar rat, oh wait a minute, thats you!

 

[grapeman]

Ouch Al!
