Waldo's Black Currant Wine

[sangwitch]

I vote #2. I like the way it has just a splash of color.

 

[Waldo]

Well, it looks like we have a concensus on the label for my black currant which is happily bubbling away.

When I got ready to rack my Currantfrom primary, I had no more empty carboys so I had to rack my Muscadine from a 5 gallon carboy into 5 one gallon jugs. NEVER ENOUGH CARBOYS !!!
I oaked the Muscadine with Light Toast French and will let it bulk age like this for about 6 weeks and then bottle.

Love the tablecloth...the wine looks great too...How many wines do you have going now????

 

[Waldo]

Actually not a table cloth per se NW. It;s just a piece of fabric I picked up and will use to put on the table to keep my wines from scratching it up.
Right now I have Plum, Muscadine, Campbells Early Grape, Rasberry, Apple/Rasberry, Blueberry Mead, Blackberry Port, Black Currant, Green Apple Riesling and er uhhhhh I think thats all !!!!

[Wade E]

Not even a red X there NW.

Waldo, is that a straw in the jugs? does it help with fermentation?

 

[Wade E]

That is his oak.

 

[Waldo]

Wade is right Linda, it is oak. Might not be a bad idea though to put straws in em. Could do some easy taste testing that way

 

[pkcook]

Waldo,


What type of oak is that? I've seen the spirals, chips, cubes, beans, and dust, but not a stick like that.

 

[Waldo]

It is a lighttoast French oak pk.

 

[pkcook]

Looks like a dowel rod.

 

[bmorosco]

It is a lighttoast French oak pk.

Where did you get those waldo or did you make them yourself?

I had on at a wine tasting and I was very pleased with the aroma and feel it was a apple wine .. But I have never had like Raspberry or things of that type looking forward to it..
