Dean, the uly is a torque monster and i love it. It does all the right things and fits me well except in height. My longer legs are still on back-order. LOL. If you can wrangle a ride out of your friend, do give it a go. The ducs are a lot of fun too! my hubby had a st4 for a while, and I'm...

yes, the pack did it again. thanks all for the return welcome. My riding days were limited this year, due to healing a broken ankle. all better now, finally. for all you midwesteners, the Slimy Crud Run is this weekend in So Wisconsin. I plan on making it, if the weather holds. So if you see a...

just want to let you all know im still here. its been a rough last year for us, and i know we aren't alone in that. Things are looking up for the first time in a while. I've been making alot of beer recently, and working on bringing the stockpiles of wine down, . I hope to find you all well. Go...

Today I bottled a spiced pumpkin ale and then brewed up an orange hefeweizen. Made a batch of meatballs and sauce and then sat down with a glass of CC GSM ( 08 LE ). Now I'm catching up with all of you guys.

I seem to have misplaced my invite. He- he. All that food looks fantastic and is making me hungry!

Never say never. Those carboys are sneaky creatures. They always find a way in. I'm up to 13. Shesh.

I made this last April and its still bulk aging. I was not going to add more oak because I like the typical style of light oaking of Pinots. Sampling time is coming soon.

What a wonderful suprise! Congratulations.

I didn't make any wine today, but did start a new beer. A clone of fat tire. The wort is cooling on the back porch right now, its 8 degrees, so it should cool rather quick!

Merry Christmas from rainy Wisconsin!

Thanks for holding my hand everyone. The stout turned out great. Its carbonating in its bottles right now, and we will open the first one on Xmas eve. This is just as much fun as making wine, only I can do it more often. Oh, what a hobby!

Ok, kit is a go. Waiting to cool to temp to pitch the yeast. I did the boil on the stove, so the house smells like a brewery. The smell will take some getting used to, but its worth it if my hubby really likes the end product. The process was so easy, I'm ready for another!

I haven't yet been disappointed by a CC grapepack kit. I keep trying them, and they are all great. I do need to try the RMC again to see how its aging.

I made a Showcase Merlot a couple of years ago and you will not be disappointed. It is fantastic.

That would probably be a good label.

Nice!

I made this one last year. I let it sit for a couple months after stabilizing. It was amazing what kept settling out, even though it looked clear.

We like high end reds, so I tend to make strictly 'grape-pack' kits. They suit our tastes really well. But for the whites, I've gone with the lower end kits, and that's worked out well too. I've also made a few meads.

Thanks. I haven't opened the grain for the sniff test, so I'm not sure about that yet. I will probably go get fresh stuff. I did get fresh hops and a liquid yeast, Wyeast for Irish stout and its all resting comfortably in the fridge until next week.

This year, a Gewertz, Gsm, ancient orange mead, and maybe some of this white chocolate port.
