What R you doing today?

[Wade E]

Im gathering up all my tools for a decent sidejob I will hopefully get done this weekend but probably it will drag on through next.

 

[Runningwolf]

Another flooring job, Wade?

Tonight I sanitized six cases of bottles and racked my WE Symphony from the primary. Anyone else get the WE Trio Blanco? Its taking a long time to clear even with a belt on it.

Gee Wade and Dan,

You too seem to be very busy tonight. I didn't work today nor tonight, actually I'm drinking and I bet it is more fun than what you too are doing.

 

[Runningwolf]

I am actually relaxing and watching tv now. Wife left this afternoon to pick up our daughter from Penn State. Nothing like coming home from work and having the house to do what ever you want to do with.

 

[Wade E]

I wish actually, Im opening up my neighbors walls and making a big closet for their daughter, it could go very easy but it could turn into a nightmare, at least with the floor you know exactly what has to be done, start opening up walls and you never know what youll find, its like a box of chocolates, oops, sorry didnt mean to go there!

LOL, Mike and I were at the Fieldhouse for dinner, this is the local restaurant we go to. It is almost like a Cheers from TV. We sit at the bar and eat dinner and talk to mostly everyone else who is sitting at the bar eating. Anyway there was a couple sitting beside us that we know from going over there and she kept telling him that she wanted this one wall in their kitchen taken down. He sounded like you Wade and naturally I kept telling him that he can do it with no problem at all and Mike kept telling him don't listen to her you won't believe what she has me doing.

We have torn down walls in our house and you are right you just do not know what you get into until you start. Good luck, hopefully, it will be an easy buck.

Mine took a little longer but I expected that because I back sweetened it some it was much more tart then the sample wine they old us it would be like . I'm going to bottle ours tomorrow if I find some bottles today that are cheap if not I'll let it sit a little longer .Do you always clear your wine with the belt on it ? I thought it was suppose to be on the cool side when it was clearing ,mine is at room temp 68 - 70 F . It was clear enough earlier in the week but I wanted to wait til I was off this weekend ,so only off by a few days .
You'll have to let me know what you think of the symphony it's one we were thinking about trying .

 

[Runningwolf]

My basement is 66-68 degrees and I rarely use a belt except for fermenting. Its just that the Trio Blanco isn't clearing like I thought it should even after a week so I have been using the belt.

When using a fining agent it usually works better with the warmer temps, when not using a fining agent cooler tempos work much better.

Wade, I did not know that. Even though I am right on with what you said I will remember that in the future. Your not such a bad guy regardless of what Tom says. LOL

Put a full 16 Oz. bottle of wine in the snowbank last nite and checked it this morning. Bottle didn't break and wine was liquid so it should be ok in the snowbank.

 

[Runningwolf]

Boyd, thats my point. I dont think your wine is going to freeze solid out there. You will probably have to put it in the freezer, just enure enough room for expansion. I might be wrong but I believe the wine needs to be frozen solid.

 

[Green Mountains]

Currently babysitting 5 grandbabies ages 2,3,4,5 and 6. Enjoying a down moment right now.

 

[deboard]

Meeting some family at an italian restaurant in Lexington tonight. When I get back, I may be bottling my beaujolais tonight, we'll see when I get back. If not tonight then tomorrow. Should get maybe 22 bottles. I have a full italian 3 gallon carboy, a one gallon carboy, and a full top up wine bottle.

 

[NSwiner]

Well we got 54 bottles from recyclers today delabeled & washed then used pink cleaner & sanitizer they are ready to go ,plus did a few I had here already but didn't need to delabel them . The only problem I'm having today is I racked the trio over to new carboy yesterday before I filter then bottle well today it's cloudy . I didn't get any big amount off the bottom of the other carboy maybe a tiny bit .So now I don't know what I'm going to do I don't want to waste the filters doing 1 batch and i don't want to redo all those bottles again . Wonder how fast super kleer would work on this or if it would be a good idea to use it ? ?????
Off to son's hockey game maybe a miracle will happen & it will be all clear when I come back lol .

 

[Boyd]

Not sure wine can be completly frozen.

Looked at a couple sites that suggest the water will turn to slush, and the alcohol will freeze at -117 degrees. Seems the sluch will happen somewhere between 20-25 degrees F for 12% alcohol.

I'm going to leave it in the snow bank for a week or so and see what happens.

 

[Wade E]

Well of course this side job will be a royal PITA, they have changed their minds and in doing so created a flooring issue now and also now involved some wiring and plumbing work which I finished today but set me back quite a bit, Ill be working on this for sure next weekend also which is good for money but I could use a break also. Oh well suck it up, there will be plenty of time to rest when Im dead!

 

[Tom]

Do what you have to do "WE" will watch over the group...

 

[Boyd]

Hell, be happy you are healthy and have things to do to make a buck.

I have been retired for three years and it isn't all it is supposed to be.

Can't wait for warm weather so I can go back to building and repairing truck boxes. Shop doesn't have proper ventilation. Can't weld with the doors closed.
