Today I went ahead and blended my cherry wine must/lees-slurry into my 6-gal lemon juice skeeter pee starter. Not only dose it look good, but I just had to taste a bit. It is out of this world. It looks so good I had to give it a classy name..."Cherlemon"

There it is in the primary next to my 1st wine making attempt.
The 6-gal Vino Italiano Merlot Red-In Secondary-Reracked-Degassed and fining agents added-Clearing nicely.

The last non-summer wine kit I made is a CC Yakima Chardonnay. I have been experimenting with lees aging and stirring (most refer to it as surlies and battonage) on chardonnay.

With this kit, I broke post fermentation into two 3 gallon batches. One, I lees aged and stirred; the other I did lees aging but did not stir. Both for about 3 months.

As expected, the lees aged and stirred is very yeasty and nutty. The other is only slightly yeasty but smoother and has less of the chardonnay bite than had it not been on the fine lees for 3 months. The two are very different; one would not know they are from the same original batch.

It is already coming around, but I don't intend on drinking (most of) it for another year.

I love the experimentation!!!

 

[Rocky]

My WIP (Wines in Progress)

Here is what I have going at present. First pic is 6 gallons of Sauvignon Blanc and 10+ gallons of Chardonnay-Semillon and my 15 gallons of Barolo Speciale in the fermenter on the left. Second pic is (L to R) 6 gallons of Carmenere and 19 gallons of Cabernet Sauvignon. Third pic is 5 gallons of Muscat and 11 gallons of Gran Barolo. Fourth pic is my 15 gallon demijohn of Zinfandel. Fifth pic is 5 gallons of Amarone, 5 gallons of Barolo, 3 gallons of "Barone" and 12 gallons of Super Tuscan. The last pic is 15+ gallons of my very well traveled and troubled Brunello. I use the boxes during bulk aging to keep the light out. Cheap but it works.

Mornin' to everyone reading this.

I am new to this although my father 30 years ago made mead wine ( from his own beehive honey ) My mom still has 2 bottles left in the basement (and is still good according to friends last christmas ).

Well about 2 years ago I bought prime jan blackberries (huge blackberries ) for my garden , i had them on my cereal, muffins, made jam, mixed in ice cream to the point of eating them by the handfulls got kinda tired of all that...... then it hit me do what my dad did ( DWDD ) .... make wine. at first I thought easy enough to do ......until I really got started........ it is like baby sitting ..... if you dont watch them closely they get into trouble the minute you turn your back and forget them.

Well anyway I want to thank everyone here for all the info I have read.... ps my first batch of blackberry died in 3 days so I mixed it with my red rasberies from my garden and fresh blue berries.... turned out good about the same color as the dragon blood but when exposed to a bright light it was a bright flouresent red.

I might call it Snake Blood or Snake Venom ( sorta like dragon blood , which I like ). well any way I have just finished my apple wine and bottled and started my dads recipe for mead wine from some canned honey ( survival food cans ) from the 1970's ( sugared and dark had to double boil it to get out of cans ) .

Oh the little critters are loving that stuff (sounds like a baby snake hissing in the corner of the basement).

here are some pics of my home made tools ( trying to be frugal (CHEAP ) until I can afford it all )
