Gallons this year

[Wade E]

All right everybody, where are you at? I have 168 gallons this year so far and another 3 gallon kit ordered. Thank god Im married cause I dont know if Id be able to hold myself to 100 gallons although Im going to have to slow down next year or become an alcoholic cause my wine is almost full already. I think I may have to rent 1 of those rentable storage Pods!

It's amazing when you break it down............. about 400 bottles of wine looks like a lot of wine on the rack, but it's only about 100 gallons of wine........ 3/4 the way through the year and only half way to my legal limit................

Time to get cracken!................

That made me laugh, thanks I needed that.

It's funny because I'm trying to get it emptied but it just keeps filling back up. Last weekend I used 3 of the 5 pound bags of blackberries, then I went to Sam's Club and got a 6 pound bag of strawberries and 2 - 3 pound bags of blueberries. That poor food delivery guy will never make any money with me in the house.

I only had six months of production. Next year will be a different story!

[moto-girl]

This is a new hobby ( obsession ) for me. Next year there will be alot more !

 

[NorthernWinos]

Do we count what we have on hand 'left-over' from last year too??

 

[Wade E]

I guess t depends on how you perceive it. I count what I started this year or Ill be in trouble with the law!

 

[jobe05]

It's only what you "ferment" in the course of 1 year.

 

[lockdude]

Somewhere around 60 gallons so far.I will probably do another 18-24 before the year is done.Ive still got 30 pounds of frozen elderberrys,and plan on doing a wv sangeovese with blackberrys.

[Waldo]

I'm at 102 with only 2 months left to go.

 

[PolishWineP]

It appears to me that some of us still have a lot of work to do this year...

 

[Jack on Rainy]

Somewhere in mid 07' of this first try at this hobby, I thought I'd
like to be making about one kit a month i.e. simple replacement of an
existing cellar.



Then I got detoured in George's catalogue.......

11/29/07 edit: looks like around 66 gals so far, with six kits on order.

[dfwwino]

Because I'm living in a small two-bedroom apt until our house is built, I've had to restrain myself this year. So far, I've made this year:


5 gallons of peach
5 gallons of peach melomel
5 gallons of blueberry
6 gallons WE Argentine Malbec
3 gallons MM La Bodega
6 gallons MM Castel del Papa
6 gallons MM Cabernet Sauvignon
6 gallons MM Moscato
5 gallons Cyser


So that's 47 gallons. Wade, you are the man.


But the lazy bottler still has wine from 2006 to bottle:


5 gallons VR Zinfandel (fermented with Syrah grape skins for a second run, so the six gallons decreased to five with the lees)
5 gallons Mead
3 gallons Blanc du Bois
1 gallon each of Apple, Banana and Niagara Raspberry.


I've got to do some bottling today.

I was just reading Wade's descriptions beside the quantities. 47 gallons is far more than enough for aging for this household. How much wine are you consuming per week, Wade? Do we need to start an AA forum here? Unfortunately, my household only has one consistent consumer of wine (my wife doesn't drink much anymore because she's dieting). I can't wait until my daugthers turn 21 so I can corrupt them and have some more consumers. For now, we just give away bottles.

 

[dfwwino]

If you break down whats in your freezer you could supply the whole forum!

I had 15 lbs of blueberries frozen in our tiny apt. refrigerator freezer. My wife was so happy when I started the blueberry wine. I never knew freezer space could make a woman so happy.

 

[CajunTim]

I am off to a slow start compared to the rest of you. Since I started I am at,
<?amespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
1 gal apple
1 gal cranberry
1 gal muscadine
1 gal raspberry blend
6 gal mango
6 gal black raspberry
6 gal pinot Grigio
Total of 22 gals. OK…so I guess I am a bit of a procrastinator

 

[grapeman]

Hey Wade. Did you hear that the ATF has alchared technology that can see alcohol in bottle volume through upt to 10 feet of concrete. The satellite scanner sends an image to the ATF headquarters where it is fed into the counting scanner/computer. An accurate readout is produced and sent to the extrapolating program which calculates predicted volume of production. There is a log kept for each year's production. The whole system is accurate down to 1/1000 ml. The red flags are indeed already up for you buddy- better put the brakes on for a while!

 

[Wade E]

 

[NorthernWinos]

The year isn't over yet...so I ain't counting...
