What R you doing today?

[Tom]

Years ago when I bought them I told my LHBS and we bought 15 of them. Shipping was cheaper because it went to the store.

I also like the fact that since they're going into an unfinished part of my basement I can move them around anywhere I want without them being fastend to the wall. I am getting all of my juice right now while I'm not working rather than through out the winter/spring. I think it makes a difference in quality also.

...... Setting up outside of the wine cellar now. Time for another party.

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I've got room in my basement so I'll bring boxes, make sure you keep some of that chocolate ice wine out somewhere so I can grab that as well.

 

[Runningwolf]

Thamks Julie, you're always there for me. Thats what I like about you.

 

[BIGJEFF]

-100g of yeast energizer
-100g of yeast nutrient
-100g of clearing agents (C&K)
-100g of acid blend

I also ordered of of each wineexpert limited edition:

This should keep me busy this winter!!

This evening, I'm sweetening my Skeeter pee, starting a new SP, my White Zinfadel and my hard Ice tea

Go to Ringling Brother's Circus tonight. My dad is the president of the Teamsters Local 688 union - and they represent the Circus workers. So we get to take the kids back stage to see the animals and get pictures with the elephants!!

Started a batch of juice wine to dilute the Pepper wine. Dumped 3 cans of conventrate into the 2 gallon primary only to woinder what the funny smell was. Here it turns out I bought white grape/pear juice instead of white grape juice. Oh well, I started it anyway and will back sweeten with regular white grape juice like I'm supposed to.

Well - on the way home from the circus - it was a blast - kids had a good time. Then i nail a deer on the way home!! Not too bad - i was able to move lanes and clip the back legs - knocked out the headlight cover and a dent on the front corner of the hood.

 

[pwrose]

Speaking of deer,
Me and the boy are off for opening day of rifle season here!!!!
Need to refill the meat freezer with some red meat to go with all the red fruit wines I have made over the summer.

#1-Trying to get rid of my 1st Skeeter Pee hangover!!

After that I'm going at Costco to buy blueberries to make an F-pac for my blueberry wine and buy a Halloween costume for my son.

I might also buy stuff to make strawberry-chocolate port...thinking about it.

[Tom]

Today was work. Then helping w/ 5K run, then helping with "Fall Fest", then helping with refreshments at the end of the Halloween "walk thru"
barely enough time to have a beer till its over.

 

[Runningwolf]

Jon, sorry to hear about your run-in.

Nikki, how long have you been out of the corner? You're doing quiet well and we haven't seen Troy around. Any correlation to this or just coincidence?

Tom, I can only imagine you out with the kids doing Halloween stuff. Sounds like a nice day.

Today I Built two more wine racks. Not for bulk storage but for my library. I maxed out the 50 display spaces on the racks I bought last xmas and didn't really want to spend the money on matching those. I will display pictures once installed as the stain is drying right now on them. Each one will hole about 18 bottles, so that should be good for a long while. I only display one of each thing I make and not any duplicates.

Sitting here after just waking up. This night shift work is getting better, but still I haven't gotten my timing worked out for a glass of wine.
Get off at 7am and then straight to bed. So at 4pm, I'm wanting to have a glass or two, but then that lead to three or four and I've only 6 hours before back at it again.
