Finally more progress is being made (at least in the kitchen).

Thanks Rocky. Yes, it's 3" pre-finished hardwood. I know spills are bound to happen but cleaning is easy. I have a couple of rubber mats that will go down as well.

Wade E - possibly but without the crossmember. I tested the top left cube with 300 pounds and it didn't budge so I hoping I'm good. Vacuumpumpman - thanks. I was lucky enough to have a few boxes left over from various flooring jobs and the tables/shelf I already had.

Thanks Runningwolf. I still have a bunch to finish in the tasting area but I wanted to get the kitchen finished first. I'll definately post more pictures of the progress.

Here's the cabinet still in progress. 8 ft long, 5 ft high and 2 ft deep. I think a rough calculation is 720 bottles the way it sits and 960 if I slot the far end. Yes, I know it's overkill but I figured I could take out the slot and show off some carboys during long term aging.

I have finally made some progress turning my cellar into a real cellar complete with 8ft by 17ft kitchen. This hobby has definately turned into an obsession. The only downside is that I'll have to wait longer after I move all the wine to their new home.

Which slurry would be better to use: a Jolly Rancher that smells like grape or one from an Okanagan Peach Icewine from winexpert. Premier cruvee was used in both batches. Thanks in advance!

Thanks!! I have blackberries that I'm going to use soon on another batch :-)

Thanks Julie! Have it tasted it? Of course I have lol. I keep filling up a glass and chilling it in the fridge :) I kept adding sugar when I thought it was done to adjust it to my liking. It is high in alcohol but it's not overpowering and you can still taste the favors seperately. I don't think...

Ok, so I finally had some time tonight. My hydrometer is an alla France beer and wine hydrometer and according to the table it actually goes down to 0.980. I started it on 1-5-12 with 24 oz of fresh rasberries and 40 oz of frozen strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. 4.5...

You hit the nail on the head Flem lol. It was actually new and not NOS. Shriver's in New Lex and Zanesville sell the same one. I just got home and will add more info tomorrow. Runningwolf-I've never thought of heating it up a bit. I will definitely do that tomorrow before I post the other info.
