LOL you would use the one I was acting goofy in but hey thats me. Only wish I could've got you all more of the grapes....If Julie hadn't got so hot we could've probly got 3 or 4 more buckets full but you all got a good start. Whats gonna be funny is when Julie has to pick all those stems out of Mikes bucket of nobles LOL

After doing some yard work this morning and harassing Wade, my wife wanted me to go up to Wally World to get some apples. Nice guy I am said but Honey its such a pretty fall day lets take a ride out to the vineyard and orchard country and get some fresh ones. First mistake, she agreed!! I came home with one peck of apples, six gallons of Traminette and a super duper Hydrometer. No more guessing calculations on late Harvest wines. This baby reads 30-60 brix!!

I spend most of the morning cleaning and de-labeling (is that even a word??) the bottles that my friends braught for me yesterday.

Then me and my daughter (4 year old Florence) started cleaning the garage, about half way trough Flo found the box of Halloween decorations and since she's got the best puppy eyes technique in the world we stopped the cleaning and started decorating

Tonight, we finish watching the Spartacus series me and my wife.

I guess the garage will be my project for next week-end!

I guess I've got a couple days off, or should I say nights. Hopefully I can get caught up with some cleaning around the house and some wine duties too.
I've got some other things working that hopefully will be ready by the coming weekend.

 

[Runningwolf]

Posting resumes, racking wine and building a pvc protectice sleeve for my ne hydometer. Yesterday I mentioned all the exciting things that happened, I forgot to mention the things that only happen when the wife is with you; First going down a big hill by my house was a large bald eagle in a tree so I did a u-turn in the middle of the hill so I could get a pic on my Droid. Well when I got back in the car my wife told me she put the emergency break on since I left the car in drive when I got out. oppps, good thing it was pointed up hill. Next when I went to get juice at Presque Isle all three girls came out and knew me on a first name basis. Yikes, first question was how much time do you spend here while I'm at work? :<

 

[Larryh86GT]

Too mushy or just right?

 

[Runningwolf]

OMG Larry you're going to make her think you missed her! OK OK if you're going to go this far I hope you saved all the tv dinner boxes and have them spilling out of the trash can. Not to lay too much guilt on her but it'll make the impact not so hard when she see's the new press you bought.

 

[djrockinsteve]

Wanna really have some fun. As she walks in, be in the back room and yell "Everybody Out, My Wife's Home. I'll call you later girls....Now Go!"

 

[PPBart]

Too mushy or just right?

My wife's first response would be "OK, just what did you do while I was away?"

 

[JohnT]

OMG Larry you're going to make her think you missed her! OK OK if you're going to go this far I hope you saved all the tv dinner boxes and have them spilling out of the trash can. Not to lay too much guilt on her but it'll make the impact not so hard when she see's the new press you bought.

Amen Brother!

Might I suggest that you mess the house up a bit (make her feel missed)?

 

[Sirs]

Larry I think you done fine should go across good

 

[Runningwolf]

Finished up racking my cherry wine after sitting on chocolate and almonds for about 28 days.

Started with 6.5 gallons. one carboy is just chocolate the second is chocolate and toasted almonds and I had a gallon plus left for topping up.

This is a pic to show how much space was left in the caboy after racking

Close up of choc/Almond mixture. I felt like a kid trying to shake coins out of a piggy bank when I was done.

Final product after racking Two 3 gallon carboys and two bottles. The wine is stabilized and in a few weeks I will back sweeten and clear.

 

[Tom]

Today I already bottled my
2009 Italian Dolcetto (juice) 6 gal
2010 Plum from Can

both came out great

 

[Runningwolf]

I have declared all out war on the fruit flies! With four bottle traps and two fly strips they still like the smell of all the fermenting primaries. Today when I attacked with my Ridgid WDV 6.25/16 single barrel and got em all within seconds. GOTCHA YOU LITTLE BA%$*#'S

None of the primaries are ready to rack yet so I built a protector for my new high brix hydometer.

 

[djrockinsteve]

So Dan, how are you suppose to read the numbers with that thing.
