With 12 carboys and 10 15.5 stainless beer kegs. I know this feel hah. Good work!

Look into lafitte. Alot of people on this board purchase corks from them. Very high quality corks for the same price as competitors. I pay 140 for 1000 count then 50 to ship them. If you like for a one time fee of $100 you can have custom die made so your local or wine name or what ever you...

Any updated? Still interested.

I'll talk to my LHBS. I'd be all over that price for 20 cases of new bottles.

Irony at its finest. Are they all the same shape and size? As you know I am local.

Thanks for the tips all. I will look at local winery's if they sell used bottles. Rich I am in Milwaukee which I assume you are as well.

We are getting to the point where my free bottle supplier isn't able to keep up/we might be losing the supplier. I am to the point where I like all my bottles to be the same shape and color so I am in the market. Does anyone buy bottles? I would probably be buying them 250 at a time or so.

Thanks for the picture/info. Strange some people are getting better pricing.

If you don't mind me asking what you paid? I have been seeing people have been paying 110 and I just bought them at 140. Not sure if they just had a price increase?

" The high density construction is highly resistant to oxygen ingress, making these suitable for long term aging of wines up to 12 months." This is direct from Morewine website. Link below. Never done it myself or owned any of these so I have no personal opinion...

I haven't bought them but I priced them out. They are definitely not .12 each now from lafitte. I had them priced out a month ago and they were 140 + 55 for shipping. .19 cents per cork. I was paying 15-16 cents each from amazon. This was for the Agllo 1+1 corks btw.

I was buying the cheap corks from Amazon. For an extra 3 cents a cork(if you buy in the 1k quantity) you can get great 1+1 corks. I am with everyone else. Why would you risk all your hard work, money, time, delicious wine over 16 cents?

I can't recommend making the dragons blood highly enough. It is a very cheap to make(around a dollar a bottle), very quick to make(start to bottle in around a month) and quick to drink(drinkable right away but improves greatly in a month to a couple months). I make a ton of this stuff(I am now...

Check to make sure there aren't any preservatives in the lemonade mix. If there are then it will never ferment. My recommendation is to possibly do what we did which I explained below. While we didn't do this with dragon blood we did experiment with adding lemonade concentrate as a back...

I wouldn't run the berries through a processor. The berries are like grapes in that crushing the seeds in the grapes and berries can put an off flavor into your wine.

Anything else fun that he has he is looking to get rid of? I live in the area.

I use a full spreadsheet that includes cost of the fruit, chemicals, and rack dates. It calculates on its own the cost of the batch, per bottle, and the next date that I need to rack for that batch. I use a master and just make a copy every time I start a new batch. I use the drive as it...

I use google drive to track everything with ingredients and dates. I then use google calendar to let myself know what I need to rack or add something.

You should be fine. 1 week in terms of wine making isnt a big deal at all. You are going to want to get those in a sealable container anyway with an airlock as with just the cloth that wine won't be any good for very long. Too much air hitting it.
