Apfelwein and VR Reisling in the carboys.
Island Mist in the bucket
Jalapeño in my head
Pee and Raspberry (possibly combined) by wife's instructions

And today I spent a fair amount of time building a ninja dojo out of Legos. He's 6, and he pitches all my yeast for me. He loves that yeast "poops" alcohol and then mom and dad drink it.

well racked my wild plum and elderberry and cherry/lime pee today. You know wild plum and elderberry make an awesome blend. Wife also tried my noble that is bone dry.

 

[Brian]

Racked my SP again should be able to bottle this weekend. Started my strawberry. Will add yeast tomorrow. The Kiwi came out a little strong so I am starting the Strawberry at 1.070 so when I mix them hopefully they will be about 11% combined.. That would be nice.

 

[sly22guy]

Pitched the yeast in my blueberry pomegranate wine. The 2 batches of apple r cooking right along nicely! Total of 36 gals going right now!

Testing my plan for an Active Directory redeign that I'm going to pitch in a meeting on Tuesday.... and building my materials list for my wine work bench project tomorrow.

 

[Redtrk]

Right after work we're going to start a Raspberry Chocolate Port.

Well we didn't get this port started last night so we will try to get it sometime today or tomorrow as we have a busy day planned today with some of the 8 grandkids. Taking the 2 year olds twins to a place here called Entertrainment Junction after lunch with them. http://www.entertrainmentjunction.com
Then we're taking 2 of the granddaughters out to dinner for GREEK food night! BTW they have wine!

Going to rack the Elderberry Blueberry, the Noble Muscadine and re-rack the apple again so that I can pull out the cinnamon sticks I added 2 weeks ago. I'll stabilize the Elderberry and Muscadine today while racking.

After that depending on the time and the weather, may take our almost 4 y/o sled riding again. We did that Thursday on my lunch hour since I was workign from home and she had a blast. She insisted she wouldn't be scared and she wasn't even that terrified going down the 150ft long hill that is probably close to a 45 degree angle by herself, good thing I was right next to her on the other sled. After the first time we didn't go to the top each time afterwards.

Ya know Dan, I've never been much of a sports enthusiast, even when younger, I always managed to find something better to do than to sit on the couch for 3 hours and watch a sporting event. I'll check it every now and then but can't watch the entire thing. Baseball is even worse. I think the longest I made it through a baseball game was 2 1/2 innings and the only reason I went to that game was to see PNC Park after it opened. Great park, lousy team.

Me too! Wouldn't give a rats behind for most sporting events. But I could sit here and watch this cheer leader all day long!!! LOL

 

[Larryh86GT]

How about those Bills? I racked my raspberry wine into secondary today.

 

[DavidB]

Racked, stabilized and back sweetened my sweat potato wine. Excellent!!! Racked my scuppernong wine. Also excellent! Cleaned out the fridge and freezer and started a batch of skeeter pee using some green apples, pears, figs, bananas and bronze muscadines that I had put back while waiting to get more fruit. Added 1 container of all natural apple sauce and a half jar of apple butter that was sitting in the fridge and one whole box of golden raisins. All together, I had a large pot full that I let simmer for a couple of hours. Going to get this going with a good ferment and start adding the lemon juice. Should be interesting. Sure smelled good!

 

[ffemt128]

Well today I racked 12 gallons of apple wine, 10 gallons of Red Muscadine, 7 1/2 gallons of Elderberry Blueberry and 6 gallons of Noble Muscadine. I also stabilized the Noble and Elderberry Blueberry.

When that was all complete I cleaned 4 cases of empties and boxed the other 2 cases that were already cleaned. I'm slowly building a supply of bottles. I'm up to about 18-20 cases cleaned and ready to go other than rinsing and sanitizing at bottle time. I'll probably be picking up another 15-20 cases of empties before the end of then month. I think I have enough green bottles for my red wines that will be bottled in the next 3 months but I don't think I have enough clear bottles for everything yet.
