    Wine racks

    I’ve had 2 of the Seville 126 bottle racks for over 5 years now. Work well. No issues.

    making wine from Marquette grapes

    My Marquette are in full bloom and shoots are about 6-10”. We had a light frost last night. I’ll know by tomorrow if they were bit. I did not shoot thin them yesterday because of the threat of frost. They looked the best they ever did. The 5 year olds are finally ready. The Brianna’s are looking...

    2021 Marquette harvest

    Had a great day yesterday. We had perfect wx for our white grape harvest. We processed and got ~250 gals of juice, delivered to the distillery and straight into the fermenter. Spent today pressing ~50 gallons of last week’s Marquette harvest, cleaning up and getting ready for the last harvest...

    C/D stand

    This took much of the flimsiness out of the stand. I should have put diagonals on the back. It will be good to go for the next month though. Working on motorizing the C/D now. **after opening up the thumbnail, it doesn’t completely show the picture. I’ll work on it later. Gotta check sugars now.

    C/D stand

    Looks good but, I begrudgingly spent the money, I’ll make that flimsy stand work. Plus, time is of the essence. Harvest is probably within 2 weeks.

    C/D stand

    Thanks guys. Some of the mods I did see were made of the flat stock Ike wrote about. That would be probably better than heavy uni strut. That will be this weekend’s project.

    C/D stand

    Nice work. Is that an old wine bottle rack? I’ve got a ton of scrap uni-strut. I think I’ll just cut 2 pieces for the back and one for each side, drill out the holes on the legs and just bolt it down. Won’t be pretty but will work,….I hope. Thx

    C/D stand

    Good afternoon grape growers, I seem to think there was some activity on beefing up this stand but can not seem to find anything on this forum. The stand is an absolute flimsy POS and was wondering what others have done to reinforce the legs. I don’t have access to a welder except at work and...

    Motorizing a manual destemmer/crusher

    Thanks. I was considering that option. It may come down to that. Taking a week off from vineyard duty. Kid is getting married in Wyoming and won’t be back till a week from today and the grapes are running 2 weeks early. Uggh.
