MA on board

[KSmith3011]

I have enjoyed reading this forum. It has been most helpful entering a new hobby and having such a resource of enthusiast. Early this year I found my property is covered with wild concord grapes. I decided to do the research and try to make a proper batch or two. It did not take long till one 6 Gal Carboy became two and then another sitting next to them. Then I built a fermenting closet and added three more 5 Gal Carboys. I can see this is going to be a highly addictive hobby.

Hi Karl

Welcome to winemakingtalk. Glad you found your way to the site. And if you get the chance try making a concord/cherry this is very good!

Concord/cherry sounds tasty. I racked tonight since both Carboys had about 4 inches of lees on the bottom. I now know what Foxy truly taste like. I am hopeful some cold stabilizing and 2 years of aging will mellow this out,,,a lot.
Thanks for the Welcome everyone

Welcome!

It must be nice to just happen to find enough wild grapes in your yard to make 3 batches of wine I'm going to check my back yard tomorrow. Just in case.
