Julie,
I DO NOT need to "find" any bottles. I have more than I need even though I have 20+ carboys aging. Just recently got 1,000 corks so I'm set there.

can you feel the love????? roflmao
 
I remember watching the kids sleep that was so long ago but seems like yesterday
 
Well after starting a wine with a ph of 6.0, I decided I'd try it again in a few minutes. Oh crap now the ph meter say "battery 0%. I run up to Wally Word and get a set of 4 batteries and install. Now it flashes me every 10 seconds Battery 0% and I can't shut it off or anything.
I call Hanna and they say it sounds like a bad circuit board and to send it back. Next I talk to Joseph at Fine Vine Wines and he tells me he's got a new one on the way and send the old one back in the shipping material the new one comes in. Once again, George is one in a million. We say it over and over but just another testament.
 
Started a WE Island Mist Cranberry Malbec today. Added 1/3 of F pack up front and a ton of simple syrup to get it up to 1.076. The starting sg on these kits are like 1.05.
 
Picked up 3 brew belts and 100 capsules. UPS dropped off my so2 tester. Reading directions and surfing while waiting for my daughter to get out of her golf lesson.

Tonight I will be testing ph, acid, so2. =)
 
Rob have you tried the Ferm Wrap for warming your vassals? A few weeks ago I went to pick up a couple brew belts and they only had one. The owner talked me into the ferm wrap which was only a couple dollars more ($23.00) and it works really well. It covers the entire bucket or carboy. It reminds me of the old after market defrosters they use to stick on your back windshield.
 
I found a Lewis Cellar’s 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve at the Vintij Wine Boutique & Bistro in Destin Florida. It is hard to find Lewis’s wine this far east. I bought a bottle and have put it away for a special occasion.
 
Racked off the first batch of pee for the year last night. I'll give it a couple more weeks then bottle. It's quite tasty if I do say so myself. This weekend I'm hoping to filter and bottle the Tropical Breeze.
 
Heading to NW PA for the opening day of trout season. Looks like rain for the entire first day. Whoopie!!!!!
 
That's exciting! Not as exciting as a lap dance, but, exciting nonetheless. :D
 
Filtered my first 2011 batch of skeeter pee and my tropical breeze. Of course I had to bottle a gallon of the Pee and 2 gallons of the tropical breeze. They look good. Now I have to design a label for the tropical breeze.
 
Back to work for the next 4 days. I like the 4 on 4 off work week. 12 hr days make it kinda long, but the 4 off is real nice.
Our trout season opens last Saturday in April every year. This year I have a long range shoot to go to instead of freezing in the river. (Will probably wish I chose the river.)
