Started this thread as a start to 2013 and list some accomplishments of myself from 2012. Feel free to post your accomplishments or revelations from 2012 as well!
First a big THANKS to all those that have helped me on the forum this year. To say i couldn't have done it without this forum is an understatement to say the least. I started my first kit 12/21/11 and bottled (probably too quickly) in January 2012. Since then i have become a hopeless addict to winemaking!
I started 24 separate batches totalling about 106 gallons. I liked some better than others but happy to say only one batch was a total failure and went down the toilet. I now have 3 fermenters, 5 carboys and a mini fridge dedicated to cold stabilization. I entered my first competition and won 4 medals. And i did this all while only breaking one hydrometer (reminds me i should buy a spare) and not going broke! I have had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends happy with the fruits of my labor!
Looking forward to improving my wines in 2013 with the help of this forum. Happy 2013 to all!
