to be honest,::
when I get to many full by to many I mean all carboy full, then that means you are forced to buy more carboy's just to be able to rack, sad but true,
I started only about a year an a half ago, to keep a extra racking carboy I starting with two 5 gallons as of today I have from 6,5 gallon glass carboys to 5 gallon carboys I've been forced by accident, (cough smirk honest faced)
I've ended with 5 gal to 6.5 gal glass carboys I've got 9 glass carboys, and 4 ,1/2 gallon glass carboys and 4,, 1 gal glass carboys, 6 ,, 5 gallon plastic carboys, and 4,, 1 gallon plastic carboys, I gave away a complete bedroom set, to convert that room to my winery room with a commercial 3 basin stainless steel sink with a drain/work space on both ends, an a commercial 8 foot long stainless steel, prep tablet that on each end has a raised work area and two centered work area all with dividers and a shelf that runs the full length of the back of the table with dividers every 16 inches, now this addiction all has ambushed me by total surprise, and after reading many ;post on this subject I find my addition is a very minor addition compared by most on this site, so my best guess is you are on your way to one very nice enjoyable addition.... I have central air, but before this spring I will have a window ac unit in the wine room window with plywood blocking out the rest of the window out, now like I said I with full intent I started with 2 - 5gal carboys so I could rack back an fourth, and not to forget I have 4- 14 gallon food grade ferment barrels and 1- 20 gallon ferment food grade barrel,
so enjoy an embrace your new addiction
god bless you and yours

I'm starting to get worried...looking around at my "winery", I mean office....there is 25 gallons of various stuff in the works...a Chardonnay, Nebiollo, Trinity Red, two batches of cider, and two beer kits yet to be brewed. Expecting Amazon to deliver two more wine kits this week.
I'm about out of buckets and carboys. Don't have anywhere near enough bottles to put it all in and I want to make more! Is there a point where you guys just naturally slowed down? Or are you all just as crazy about watching stuff bubble as I am?
