I have about 10 to 12 - 5 gallon and 6 gallon glass carboys. Haven't made wine or beer in several years and it's time to find them a new home. No shipping - local pickup/delivery only. $30 each. My zipcode is 72019 but don't mind driving a bit or meeting someone halfway to deliver.

Just tried my tart cherry wine that's been aging about 6 months now in a carboy. I was made from some tart cherry juice that I found in a health food store. Smell is great, it's dry and needs to be backsweetened, and the cherry taste is about right but the tartness that hits after you swallow...

That's how we're paying off the deficit - selling Alaska to Mexico. ;-)

Hope your back on your feet soon. Take care.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Looking good there Waldo!!!

That is the same process used to make basalmic vinegar.

Hope all went well Waldo. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Tony

Cut the Cascade vines last night and ended up with another half of a 2.5 gallon bucket full of hops. Pretty good year for them, considering the weather. Probably about 8-9 oz dried total for this year from the two clumps. The other varieties didn't do anything.

Dang, missed this - hope you had a great B-Day! Tony

I'd say aging it "2-3 hrs" is definitely a minimum. Tony

Thanks guys!

You'd probably be more successful if you wait until it's dormant. Tie a ribbon on it so you don't lose it and dig it up and move it early next spring.

Well my 3 small clusters of grapes have been harvested. Unfortunately not by me. Checked last week and they were deep purplish red and starting to sweeten. Today I found grape stalks.

Oh yeah... almost forgot
