Racked 2, 14 Gal. carboys. Used a Flojet diaphram pump.

Picked up 2 on ebay for $29.00. They work pretty good although they need to be reset 3 times for 14 gallons.

Got a line on free apples so I'll do that tommorrow.

Went and picked up a new kitchen table, going to look at the crib and see how to convert it to a regular bed for our 3 y/o

Doug, think outside the box. A crib wine rack. Why let the space under the bed go to waste. You could fit @ 100 bottles under there and they would be cool.

Well I took apart the day bed that the crib was previously converted into and followed the directions for converting to a full size bed. I have to say who ever came up with this wonderful idea was a complete and total moron. Picture the long side of the crib being the headboard. Now one would think that a child, a toddler coming from a day bed would go into a twin or a full bed, correct? No I swear after you get the head board put together the way they tell you to it would, no ****, damn near fit a queen size bed. Moron I say, complete and total moron. Ive decided after I get back from SC, I'm going furniture shopping.. Morons should not design childrens furniture.

Thank goodness for wine or I may have taken that whole experience a different way and the crib pieces would be on the front lawn.

Oh and Steve, the extra pieces may make a wine rack some how, either that or I'll cut them up and use them in place of Oak.....

Stopped by South Hills Brewing on the way home and picked up some more #7 bungs and more #6 bungs as well as a dozen more airlocks. I decided to try the "S" airlocks this time. No reason, just something different.

 

[Sirs]

I like the S locks better

 

[Sirs]

This is what I've been doing past few days, it's hot but man they are getting ripe and there are sooooooooo many of them

 

[Sirs]

also got the green scups as well not to mention the big boys yummm

it's kind of hard to tell what you have but I am guessing that it might be chokecherries am I right

 

[DragonsLair]

Picked up a few boxes of John Henry peaches to make a batch of peach wine. Got four gallons of juice at SG 1.040! Sweet!!

Nay, don't think you are, I believe they are muscadines

 

[myakkagldwngr]

Been reading the recipe section and feeling the need to try a mead!!
Starting to pick up supplies a little at a time. I sure do wish I still had the hives my brother and I had years ago. I still have the hand cranked extractor. Might have to look into getting another hive for the back yard.
Try and get self sufficient before it all crashes and we go back to the stone age.

I think Julie's right. They look just like the Noble varity of Muscadines that I picked up and processed last weekend.

 

[Sirs]

They're right it is muscadines and they are really good and ripe

 

[jtstar]

Thats even better I just got done putting up another five gallon of wild plumes now I have ten gallons in the freezer that are not pitted what would be the best way to make them into wine I have never done a wild plume wine before looking for help

I have seen muscadine grapes, but these look more like blueberries. What exactly are muscadines?
