What R you doing today?

[Affe]

Bottled my concord yesterday. Sent a couple of bottles home to my father. He and the step-mom loved it, likening it to their favorite sweet wines.

Looks like I'll have to start another batch soon...

Good for you! Now get those bottles washed. By the way how did you ever fit all that juice in your car. I got outta there before you went to get it since I filled your car up with empty bottles.

Ready or another 7 fun filled days in the air I'm wondering what to do about all the juice I have fermenting. The white's are fermenting nice a slowly. They're only down to 1.07 or so after 4 days but they're still turning a lot so I'm happy. I'll probably just lock the lids on them (with an airlock) and forget about them for a week. I'll let the "better half" stir the red's (with grape pack) till they get closer to zero and then have her lock those. I'M GOING TO MISS MY BABIES WHILE I'M GONE

Wade, I'll be thinking about you buddy

 

[Julie]

Went to an interesting auction today. The guy was an old time doctor and winemaker. Everything had been boxed up for over 25 years. I tried to bid on a lot of 3 cases full of glass ware including flasks, beakers, distilation apperatus and really cool other glass items. I am sure worth over $1000 but it went for $350 and that was more then I was willing to spend. The wine in his cellar was so old the corks were rotting out in the bottles, but I'm sure there were some good ones. There were a lot of carboys and several types I've never seen which makes me believe they may have come from the medical field. I wasn't interestred in the press and I know the carboys were going to sell for more then they were worth so after the glass sold that I wanted I left.

Tomorrow I am holping to go look at an "Happy Valley" Homesteader apple cider press that I saw listed for sale. Does anyone have one that can comment on it?

I spent the past few days cleaning/cooking. Every year for Easter we have a crowd of anywhere from 25-30 people in the house (last year broke the record of 34 people). It gets pretty crazy around here, but a good time! We have an Easter Egg Hunt, was well as a "Peep Show" (a peep decorating contest). Have a great holiday everyone!
