From left to right

1. Apple Cider - Just racked tonight, will be made sparkling.

2. Rasberry - Just racked tonight.

3. Strawberry/Rhubarb - Just racked tonight.

4. Citrus Melomel - Clearing up nicely, been in the carboy about 1 month.

5. Blackberry - Bulk aging since May.

6. Raisin Sherry - Bulk aging since May, I'll be fortifying this
weekend and then bulking a few more months before
bottling.



Next up will probably be some concord and a blueberry melomel.

Hey are we in competition to see how many carbouys we can have
going.. Well i bet not. But I do see some compulstions
goling on with me. I am making less 5 gal batches and moving to 6 gals.
Due to the kits I get. I do keep a couple 5 gals going the non
kit way but take about 4 months to clear using just time and
gravity.

 

[Lenore]

I have a Domaine Des Brumes, a white burgundy and a Mezza Luna Red. I have a Crushendo kit on standby and also a sherry kit.

 

[MedPretzel]

Thank you, I'll take one of each.

Very nice, and keep up the good work, Pete!

[OilnH2O]

Okay, Pete -- you wanted more pic's so maybe this will jumpstart some more!


Here's our meager stash --

On the left are "dregs" bottled and airlocked for settling and topping up. Then Nebbiolo, my problem-child lilac in the middle, and the "buttery" chardonay on the right. On the floor is rhubarb-grape and a CC Washington State Merlot (grape pack). Pinot and bourgeron rouge bottled and in the state-of-the art wine cellar... (as if...)

By the way, we're blowing through Gillette next Monday on our way to a quick trip to Illinois to visit grandparents -- I'll think of you as I gas up at that cheapy place on the east end of town!
