  Elmer, you may want to think about lowering your carboy handle to the lower ridge on the neck.
  I've seen them slip off where yours is. I'm just saying.....

  I got moved last weekend without any casualties. I taped a layer of bubble wrap around each
  carboy, used solid bungs held in with shrink wrap. I put all of the full bottles upside down in
  cases, but d...

  Great advice everyone, and thank you. I too like the milk crate idea. I'm moving across town,
  less than 10 miles, so I think I'll put solid bungs with duct tape in the carboys, and then in
  milk crates...

  about 3 weeks ago. We accepted an offer and need to be out of here by Mar. 6th. You'd think I'd

  I decided to make this my Christmas wine. Since its not a red, and not a blush, I called it
  Rosé Cheeks. I wish I had some daylight to help make the color more clear.

  I get mine for free from my local winery. They give them away in their tasting room. Also I

  I ended up blending 75% niagara, and 25% concord. It has a very nice flavor and is not quite as
  sweet as the concord alone. I ended up with 8 gallons, so I bottled 2 gallons as tester bottles

  Thanks for the input guys. Dan, I understand that ultimately it is my decision alone, and

  I've got a concord that I bottled in August of 2012. I also have a Niagara that has been very
