What do you do while you're waiting?

lol....the waiting is the hardest part of winemaking! I've found I've been able to utilize much of my time cleaning the recycled bottles that I am collecting.

Other than that, I'm on this forum reading as much as I can!

Finding the motivation to scrub off those labels is a challenge sometimes.
I'm in the process of that currently. Have a sauvignon blanc to bottle up.

cleaning recycled and removing the labels are a piece of cake compared to removing all those dang shrink caps I sliced my thumb and 4finger pretty good last week and try the hard lemonade recipe I got a 5 gal bucket brewing away.
b/t the malt and yeast thesmell is wonderful! And I can't seem to get enough of this forum! It's what turned me on to this addiction in the first place

Mamaj you could do like I am doing while waiting for the carboys to finish up. I need to finish up this years pruning of 3 acres or 2000 grape vines. Then training, tying, summer pruning and pest control. In between that, I'm building my winery for a small farm winery. Then when fall gets here I can pick the grapes, crush and destem them, ferment and press and start the cycle all over again. Oh and I forgot, bottle last years wine!

Wow! You have plenty to keep you busy... I won't ever complain about having so much time to wait...
