[Flem]

Mike did you pick up your juice today?

Not able to as my only primary was being utilized for a mist kit. I wish I had known you guys were going. I could have met you for lunch.

You don't need a primary. You ferment in the pail it comes in.

Had a wine and cheese party last night. Some of my northern friends are leaving this weekend. Think there was 16 of us, we consumed 15 bottles of wine, 12 different kinds, it was a bunch of happy people. Mostly sweet wines and most very young but it was a good party. Black Currant was the biggest hit, but everyone said they liked it all. I promised them we would do it again next winter with same wines so they can tell what a little time does to it.

Freezing. Damn ground is frozen. No yard work today. Bloody snow called for tomorrow. *grumble grumble*
Plans for building the raised beds today are delayed until it's not freezing. Going to get some more grapes and other fruits that will make yummy wine eventually.

[RedNeckWino]

Cleaning house, 5 carboys need racked, gonna smoke up a brisket. But have yet to get off my ... except to get coffee. Snowed again last night. but think I will burn the shovel instead of use it.
Need to design a smoker that works in a fire place. Can't stand the thought of going out into the snow. Still have over 2 feet in the yard!

 

[grapeman]

Going to a wine tasting in a few minutes and again tomorrow at Hid-In-Pines Vineyard.

Was going to try to prune this AM first, but it was 15 degrees and two feet of snow left. I checked the records for last year and this coming week it was 80 on Monday and 78 on Tuesday. Highs are expected to be in the 30's this week again...............

Sunny and 75 in Las Cruces, NM today. Hanging out by the pool, don't shoot the messenger!

 

[jeepingchick]

Took our pup to the vet this morn cuz shes been vomiting the last day. Xray shows a rock in her lower intestine! OMG! Surgery time Im really worried about her and I hated leaving her at the vets....

Didn't know that! So there's enough headspace in the pail???

Yes they call it wine for dummies down there. Yeast is already added also. All you have to do is remove the lid and keep it 70-75*'s. It's not too late to get some. They order extra and you may still be able to order some for their next shipment.

 

[RedNeckWino]

Wish there was a place around here to get juices. The extra shipping cost makes it NOT worth mail order, unless I order like 20 buckets at a time.
3 more months and this area will be buried in fresh fruit though.

Glad to hear that. Put a small shot of wine in her food bowl for me. Might help her sleep good. Did that for my husky. She could not get enough.
