No Deer, glad that's over!! 7 tap kegerator is in the basement, not hooked up yet, think I'm going to put a 4 tap tower on the kitchen counter and plumb the hoses up to it from the basement. I need to build a wine area in the basement first and it's not on the top of my list...They got this wine...

Well, I ain't been around here for a while!! was busy this year selling my house out in the woods, moved into Rita's house in the city, 6.5 acres, this is going to be rough, but it is nice to be close to town, and HIGH SPEED INTERNET!! Don't have the wine making operation set up yet, but did...

Here's a Cache in my front yard. I haven't been in years as too busy, but still keep mine full of Beanie Babys. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=32b38a62-3550-4b16-ab1a-373edad58f71

I normally fill the kegs with Spagnol's Grand Cru International kits, they have dried grape skins and run around $80 here, Rita likes them and says for the extra few dollars they are very good. But her favorite is Spagnol's Super Tuscan, that runs $120 and I bottle that. Today is pretty much the...

Yes we still have the kegerator, 3 beers on tap and 2 red wines for the lovely Rita, last night Rita said one of her wines were empty and I went to get a new keg out of the wine cellar and they were all empty!! I need to get caught up, there is plenty in the carboys....

Just so you know Rita and I are still alive and well, Rita has a camp on a lake here in Maine and we spend all available time fishing, I did buy this laptop so I can check the weather reports here, we don't rough it too bad as I have put A/C and electric heat in the camp and we have a phone to...

I just bottle 4 batches of beer that was in the primary's for 5 weeks (I'm busy fishing) I have been going 4 weeks a lot and have no problem with the beer. In fact I think it comes out a lot clearer. As long as you don't open the top the CO2 should protect the beer.

My wife is a red wine drinker and we have found the Grand Cru International kits to be VERY good for the money (I keg these and keep two on tap) and have stopped making the lower end kits, but she still loves the Winery Series Super Tuscan the best.

I just started this kit today...

My Dearest Darling WADE, I know kits are 6 gallons, but kegs are 5 gallons, I'll just dump the extra gallon....... Thanks for answering though, I think I'll go with a Pino Grigio.

I would like to make a batch of Champagne again this winter, last year I used a 3 gallon Millenium kit by Wine Expert, I have a kegerator and forced carbonated the kit and it worked out great. I would like to know if anyone knows what white wine kit I could use to make a 5 gallon batch this...

Went to Cape Cod fishing with my brother JT and his friend John yesterday, I caught a 39" Striped Bass and a Bluefish, JT got 2 keeper Stripers, We had a great time, stopped in Portsmouth NH and picked up a 11lb lobster for the Lovely Rita on the way home, but how many pictures of lobsters do...

The sad thing is with every scoop in my mind I remember my friend Cheri telling me she thought I wasn't supposed to flush those baby wipes...

Next Problem, Septic Tanks, oh yea, I had a new septic system installed two years ago, yesterday I was out there digging it up and scooping all the BABY WIPES out with a pitch fork cause they plugged the FILTER, WHY AM I FILTERING MY POOPS???????? Google it and you will become educated like I...
