Hey everyone! My name is Ryan but my friends always called my Polish (like the country). I was born and raised in FL and moved back to New York at 26 to escape the heat. My grandparents were farmers so there is a love of the land in my blood. I enjoy hobbies and run through many frequently. My new hyperfixation this year has been learning about fermenting. It started with my wife's garden and some cabbage she grew that I turned into sauerkraut. Then it was me failing at pickles, then making gallons of kombucha and somehow I made it to the wine kingdom. I have previously grown culinary mushrooms in my basement before (which is extremely laborious), so wine is a nice change. I purchased some juice from a vineyard a couple hours away and a ton of glass and I was off. In addition, I have some wild grape and a couple of meads going right now. I found this forum in doing research and its been extraordinarily helpful! Cheers to everyone! I'll drop some pics of my current setup below. I would also like to make a cellar as cheap but nicely as possible in the months to come.
I jumped in pretty quick so I am trying to learn faster than I can screw things up! I may have to go buy some wine to top, I tasted the the headspace amount instead of saving it
