Homebrewer who is interested in wine

Rich,

Look if you can find a friendly baker or so in the neighborhood, and talk to him.
Give him one or two bottles of your wine

Now bakers will get their supplies of cream, baking materials etc in food grade buckets, and they will dump the buckets when empty.

This way I got myself and endless supply of 3 gallon fermentors.

Now I like that idea. I would love to have some 3 gallon fermenters for smaller batches. I figure I can find out what I like with 1 or 2 gallons at a time then do 6 gallon batches.

Any updates or new pictures? I'm extremely interested in how this is processing.

I racked it to a secondary last night and snapped these photos. I took a small taste from the racking cane and it was surprisingly good. It is a bit sweet at 1.010 but is very clean. Almost no lees in the primary just a darker purple film. I noticed today that the secondary already has a layer of yeast in it.

I bottled it today

This is very good wine! I think it is ready to drink right now! I just finished off a large glass of it from the bottom of the carboy and oh my... it is fantastic!

Congratulations Rich,

It turned out very well.
