Needed something new to do

[littlefootwines]

Hello needed a new hobby was looking around at beer making sites and found this one.

That was almost a year ago told the wife i would like to try winemaking and she said go for it i do love that women. Being that i am disabled wine making is a good thing for me because its forgiving if you dont do things right when needed and its good because sometimes i just can not stand for a long time. I have spent a lot of time here reading and learning and in that short time have made a few kits RJS is just over the bridge from our house so very handy so on that note thanks and look forward to spending more time here as i am going from the kits as per instructions to tweaking. Love that word is a good word in wine making.

Welcome Shane. I'm glad you enjoy winemaking. What's not to love about it? I'm hooked too.

I have done a bit of tweaking with ideas from Joeswine. There is a thread on here called 'thinking outside the box'. He has a lot of tutorials on thread. It's a good read full if ideas.

If lifting is a problem for you, either buy an allinone vacuum system or Hobble one together with a vacuum of some sort, harbor freight, medical aspirator or what ever. You can rack, degass and bottle with that and you should not have to ever lift a full carboy or fermenter.

Also, I suggest you build a table that you can sit down at to bottle or use a floor bottler while bottling. I can bottle and cork sitting down and that helps my back.
