I'm in deep trouble!

[Joanie]

It's only June and I already know I don't have enough carboys!!

 

[Waldo]

No problem Joan. I just happen to know a guy that has a few that he would be willing to sell at a reasonable price. His name is George Cornelius and his phone number is 866-417-1114

It's only June and I already know I don't have enough carboys!!

Or else just buy a few gargirls from George and you will be all set with the carbabies that NW uses.

Funny, I just went and purchased my 5th 6 gallon this morning and have only a 5er left.

 

[Joanie]

Who knew wine making would involve serious scheduling and timing issues! Or more money!

And then there's the room problem!!! What have I gotten myself into?

 

[grapeman]

What room problem Joan. Just have Wade come over and build you another one! I've got to empty some more soon to make my summer wines!

 

[Joanie]

Speaking of room...are there wine makers who live in apartments? I'm thinking there aren't many.

 

[sangwitch]

joan, i started out in an apartment with a batch at a time. winemaking is how I finallyfaced my commitment fears.

ask yourself this... "do i really need that living room or dining room?"

 

[Joanie]

I need my living room!!! it's were I keep the bottled stuff and everything else that won't fit in my wine closet!

 

[Wade E]

Sounds to me like someone needs an addition put on and an open account with FVW!

 

[Joanie]

Both sound like great but expensive ideas, Wade...especially the second one! George already gets my wine money...and then some!

When I bought my house the only condition I gave my wife was that it had an extra basement room for my wine and beer. She came through like a champ! Now all I have to do is get it remodelled!!!

We live in a trailer. Needless to say, our largest bedroom is now a wine room. We built that 96-bottle wine shelf, but still have several filled carboys of aging wines sitting around. There is never enough room. You get a bigger room, you make more wine.

I think most of you know I'm in an apartment and every where is the wine room. No corner is safe!! I just keep thinking about Scuba's experience with the busted carboy and remember that I had to sign a waiver that if anything happens to the carpet here I have to pay 800.00 to have it replaced....and that would be a big OUCH!!!


You just find a way to make it work!!!!

It is funny that you mention this problem, as I have been trying to design an economical "wine closet". The concept is basically similar to an Armoir with a single shelf in the middle. The small size would hold5 6-gallon carboys and/or fermenting buckets. I would like the option of adding a small A/C - heat unit to keep the unit at a constant temperature. I was thinking about this more due to the constant comments on temperature control, but something like this would be most efficient for an apartment.


BTW, Joan, I am trying to put your money to good use in the store. It is greatly appreciated.

I'm glad I'm able to help out, George! I am a team player through and through!
