Spent 2-3 hours at lowes putting together carts and carts of materials for a 12x12 shed. Need to get the garage back in order and a place to store empty bottles.
Took the kids swimming, then started the shed foundation. Added some ginger and dark brown sugar to the ginger beer batch. Now working on taxes and labels. mostly labels, I hate getting paperwork together and trying to remember if it was a business expense or not. One of the non-perks of being self employed!

Hey Nikki good to see you again today. The first time was on Google images. I was looking for pictures for my Orange Chocolate port and did a search for that and it brought up your avatar picture here and a picture of Wades wine bench from 4 years ago amoungst 300 others.

Tonight I put shrink caps on 30 375ml bottles of Cranberry bottled Sunday morning. Then back-sweetened my first batch of Skeeter with 2 cans of Welches cranberry concentrate and about 1/2 the simple syrup. I will check for taste when bottling and maybe add more.

Need to find some clear 12 oz. crown cap bottles somewhere. I may have to pound 2 cases of Miller High Life long necks. I hope it doesn't come to that.

This was suppose to be a three hour class that went for four. They covered everything from the crush to bottling. It was definitely a beginners class and then way too much info for a beginner to hear at one sitting to comprehend.

Don't you hate when you get duped??

No not really there were about thirteen people there and got to meet some new folks, so that alone was worth it. I didn't agree with everything said and felt he could have suggested a lot of item they sell. In his defense, he was not pushing any equipment but focused on the process.

This crazy chocolate lab eats EVERYTHING !!! oh well, keep her in your thoughts for a speedy recovery! (please)

 

[Runningwolf]

Dan, who taught the class?

Mark did. I feel I could have been a real asset assisting him. He crammed in way too much information in four hours with little participation from the class. It was hard to sit there and not interrupt. I really feel he is out of touch with the home winemaker and procedures even though he knows his stuff.

I purchased the necessary fittings last night to make my filter tubes for storage after use. I'm soaking all parts now in oxy clean. My 10' piece of PVC pipe was outside over the summer and the inside needed cleaned. Later when everything is dry I'll assemble the tubes. I'm hoping to try out the whole house filter the end of the month on my Tropical Breeze.
