hey all! im new to wine making! i live in Wisconsin and work at fritolay to provide all of you nice ladies and gentlemen with your potato chip needs
my new fiance's sisters bf is huge into making wine and beer, his family has been doing it for generations. so after trying his stuff at many family get togethers, i got the idea in my head that "hey making wine could be fun"
a couple months later that thought turned into "ok, im gunna give this a go" so i bought a starter kit.
less than a week later it went to "i cant wait for one batch of wine, i NEED to get another fermenting bucket and start another"
then about 2 days later it went to "ok, time to start asking restaurants for their buckets so i can make even more"
then it went to calling my fiance's sisters bf and asking him to pick me up 5 more 5 gal carboys a couple 3 gal carboys and a couple 1 gal jugs (he gets 35% off everything cuz he works at a home brew store)
finally im to the point to where all i think about all day at work is what wine i wanna try starting now, I CANT SLEEP ANYMORE!!!!
i never thought this would be so addicting, the worst part is i dont even know exactly what im doing. i spend hours every night looking up other peoples mistakes and questions on this forum just to help my learn from their mistakes but i still dont know if my first batch will even turn out or if im using bad water or anything like that but i cant stop starting new batches! lol
