Centerpiece

So I wonder what people think when they enter our house and see our centerpiece...

Hopefully something like "where are the glasses???". Or maybe even "where there's little ones, there's big ones too!!!" Very nice and all in all it should dictate the conversation

We recently moved to Kentucky and as people came over I didn't really give it much thought until my wife wondered what people thought... Although at that time there were several much bigger carboys bubbling away.

My mom kinda freaked the first time she saw a line of 5 Gallon Carboys bubbling away on the counter. I suppose if people have never seen it, they must think you're super-sciencey, or maybe mad-scientisty.

I had like 6 different buckets fermenting in my downstairs kitchen. One of my girlfriends came over looked at one fermenting and it was so bad looking to her, she almost puked...lol she thought it was something from the seafood company that was bad.....
Any how she said she could not stay and smell it, so I told her to leave.
I love the smell of fermenting.

Heck yeah, you do get accustomed to the smell. We didn't like the smell to begin with and ended up moving the first batches to the closet upstairs so it wasn't all up in the house. And some of them smell downright DELICIOUS fermenting! DB, Island Dragon and Blueberry pomegranate are my faves thus far, the Strawberry Smucker's smelled pretty good, but I'm having a heckuva time getting that puppy to finish. Boo!

James,

You dog.

"One of my girlfriends."

Lol

Oh yes... The smell is something that does take getting used to. When I visited the Wild Turkey distillery I really thought it smelled better than the first distillery I visited years ago. I think it's an acquired smell.

Actually my daughter said she thought it must be what a meth lab would look like. No clue. But no propane is required...

My livingroom centerpeice.

 

[PatrickShiflet]

That is cool. I can't tell what us inside though. Can you take a closer shot of it please?


Patrick

 

[jensmith]

Its more then half empty and my camera takes grainy pitchures! Its an apple, mixed fruit, elderberry wine. The bottle holds 7 wine bottles of wine.
Here is one I took a while ago when empty. Its much more fun then those wine on tap boxes!

 

[PatrickShiflet]

I like it! Very unique. Thanks for the pictures.
