To Bottle or not to bottle, that is the question
The question should be: To buy more carboys or not to buy more? OR where the hell am I going to store more full carboys? OR Is 1 year bulk aging enough?
Damn you Wine Gods>

Mike for me it's a carefully coordinated plan to maximize my wine. If I bottle this then I can rack into this and start this. It would be easier to just buy more carboys.

LOL! I'm out of carboys to... Mine aren't near bottling time though... Think I might try to talk hubby into more carboys, but he's tired of looking at the ones I have. I think this is the age old debate... Space vs. Patience!

WOW! What a list! LOL! Hubby's not a wine drinker, and I don't drink much... So I doubt he'd go for that... At least until I start his beer! LOL!

but I already have 14, I don't want to move the winery into Living Room. Some of the wine has been bulk aging for 1 1/2 yrs so I could bottle it. You see it is like this, I have empty primaries that demand to be filled, I have grain and hops, I have frozen berries. Whats a guy to do?????????Wahahahahahah

Your for sure bulk aging way more than most folks! I have 10 "boys" and that is all I will ever have. I bulk age 6-8 mo max for a red. 3-4 months for a white. Nothing wrong with bottle aging!
