NC here Hey guys, Been a shooter all my adult life, have my share of 'stuff' and have my Concealed Carry, which I also suggest to everyone so inclined. The direction this Nation is going, I expect increase in crime, and if so, do not want to depend on 911 to help...they just come to cleanup...

Gallons Thanks for the reply..How much can one drink..Lol depends When I make a kit, I generally bottle half of the wine in fifths, the rest in gallons, one to save space, then I keep a fifth bottle in the fridge, which I refill from the gallons, for my use.
