Breathable Carboy Bungs?

Re: the breakage of the glass carboys - that is awful!! Any idea how? One, I could understand: seven, is a mystery. Feel sorry for you Crush, Dizzy

To be fair, four of them were my fault for not having a greater appreciation for physics. I knew what I was doing by stacking the carboys was a gamble. No one’s fault but my own. The other three happened just about six weeks ago with a bad batch of purchased carboys. Of the six I recently purchased, three cracked and spilled the contents. Of the three remaining, two had cracks - I discovered after I transferred to other carboys. The other thing to consider is my opportunity score is rather high. I have 56 carboys full and aging right now. Why, you entertain? In short, to give away while enjoying the process of becoming a decent winemaker.

Jim, it’s been an interesting turn of events. My annual barrel rotation will hold 27 carboys. Because I always want to have enough aged over a year before I transfer to a barrel, I have two years worth aging. But, my wine journey has led me away from doing kits and now only frozen must and fresh grapes. Beginning with my current ferment, I’m transitioning to large capacity Speidel tanks, doing less smaller batches and making better wine, hopefully.

56 sounds like a lot. But crushday just thinking......”should be 63 goddammit!”
