[Julie]

We pressed the muscadines that Doug and Bill brought me, I ended up with 9 gallons of Carlos/Bronse, 6 gallons of Red and 9 gallons of Noble. And all three have a very good color to them and smell great!!!!!!

We enjoyed another trip to Luva Bella's and picked up 10 buckets of Italian juices, 2 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2 Chianti, 2 Amarone, 2 Brunello and 2 Nebbiolo. We had lunch at the winery and enjoyed a bottle of their Petite Syrah Reserve 2012. A very pleasant way to spend a cold rainy Saturday. I needed a nap after carrying those buckets to the basement! I swear I am going to hook up a transfer pump for the next time i buy juice!

 

[Shelton]

Today i did a great work with others. I did spend my whole day time with road child's. I like it.

Pressed 15 gallons each of Carlos and Bronze Muscadine. They were at 1.030 and 1.040 respectively. Cellar is right around 55 degrees. This will be a long ferment to dry..

My cellar is running about 60 degrees and all mine fermented to 1.010 and 1.020. I need to bottle tomorrow to free up some carboys for the muscadine.

 

[Thig]

Bottled my Vidalia Onion wine today.

It looks good Thig! You will love cooking with it.

 

[LoneStarLori]

Working on our outdoor kitchen. It's been pretty slow, but mr engineer didnt really have a plan. Good thing he has a supervisor. Me. Tomorrow we put on the metal roof. That should be fun.

 

[ffemt128]

I want to make a batch of Vidalia onion wine..

 

[Runningwolf]

Had a nice visit with ffemt128 today when he came up north to pick up some fresh juice from the local wineries. This morning I bottled 25 gallons of Pair wine.

 

[sour_grapes]

Dan, it is always a pleasure visiting with you. Your home lab is an envy to many professional wineries. You may want to count your dogs..... I think Andrea may have tried to sneak one home...

thanks again for the crab Apple. It is resting comfortably in a carboy waiting for sugar...

 

[ffemt128]

I'm hoping to press this batch of Red Muscadine tonight...then the 2 cans of Noble tomorrow night.

 

[reefman]

Had our first frost this morning.

I'm loading the truck for another trip to the new house.
This trip will include some more furniture, the wife's plants and my coffee roaster.
I hope to also get a wine making area setup in the new house this week.
(no basement)
Next weeks trip I hope to be able to move some wine making stuff.
At some point I'll have to dig up my grape vines and transplant them as well.

 

[Hokapsig]

Day 3 of Operation Restore Sanity, but I am still pissed about not being able to work with ffemt on pressing the muscadine. I will raise a glass of Southern Red Muscadine in his honor for breakfast, lunch and 3 for dinner. See you on Sunday Doug....

 

[ffemt128]

Done pressing the Red Muscadine. Here are the remaining skins from a 32 gallon brute can fill 3/4 full with uncrushed grapes and then the yield post crushing. Sq was 1.024

 

[Boatboy24]
