A friend got me started making wine 1 year ago and got me started with
1- 5 gallon carboy
1- Bucket
and all of the basics to start my first batch of wine a White Zin from a concentrate.
So a year later I am on my 17th batch of wine I have made every thing from:
Welch concentrate
Many different flavors of frozen concentrates
Dragon Blood ( 3 batches) Thanks Dave
To fresh pressed juice from:
Grapes from my neighbors vines
Pears from a friends tree
Apricot from another neighbor
Peachs from a Orchard
I have bottled 40 gallons ( but only have 29 bottles in the rack ) so far and have 28 gallons in differant stages of bulk aging ,68 gallons in a year !!!
I now have:
5 - 5 gl carboys
2 - 3 gl
10- 1 gl
4 - 1/2 gl
and 5 fermenting buckets...
Made my own wine rack and a press from plans and have a Allinonewinepump ( thanks Steve )
I have yet to do wine from a kit but may try one soon,what a great rewarding hobbie, thanks to all on this forum it's a wealth of knowledge...
Now that I have a idea about wine making it's time to get serious !!!
