Well folks! I'm back! Haven't been around too much as i have been busy in other areas, but now the time is NIGH!!!! its FALL AND THAT MEANS ONE THING..WINE MAKING!!!!
I embarked on collecting all the equipment earlier in this year to be prepared for this very occasion and I am happy to say we finally got our grapes in! We picked up 702 pounds yesterday. fresh off the truck from California at the same place where my papa gets his from. We all went and got what we needed. Now for our production, its very small this year only because most of the money was put into buying the equipment, however, next year...totally different story, 18 crates this year...and and next year will be 32 crates, but this is good for now, these 18 crates will yield 40 gallons, so this is a great start!!!
slideshow time from yesterdays fun! dont be scared by the big ugly monster...that's just me.
right off the truck and popping the tops off...
500 liter fermenting tub fermenting stand and crusher *the hole in the bottom of the tub is for the sigot that we bought to use with it*
press all clean, prepped and ready *and yes everything is clean, will also be using plastic lining in between certain areas...as was heaviily discussed earlier on this thread, lmao*
the bounty
Will be crushing on tomorrow evening, and pressing on Sunday!! Will have more pics and videos coming soon!!! = D
Cheers Everyone!!!!!
