How many kits do ya'll have on deck? I try to limit myself to 3, but I am not always successful :dg
 
Down to one kit that I will get going over the holiday break....the WE LE Oregon Pinot Noir. I have the Passport Sonoma Coast PN on order as well so need to get this one going.

Doing a better job on my wine kits than I am on brewing grains....100's of pounds just waiting to be mashed.

None! Started my on-deck RJS VdV Merlot yesterday. A visit to my LHBS sometime soon will have me bringing home a California Muscato, a Riesling and a WS kit that I've not yet tried.

Hubby has limited me to 5 on deck, but we got over enthusiatic and started 2 this last week so we're down to none...Time to get shopping -I just am so torn about what to order next

I think I have 3 kits on deck as well as some frozen fruit for DDDB. I will be taking care of that last one tonight :)
 
I'm down to one also. A Mosti Impressions Merlot with skins. I also have a few limiteds that will show up over the next few months.
 
Right now, La Bodega port style that I just picked up at a very decent price...:tz

Everything else is bulk aging.

Ordered the WE LE Super Tuscan and WE LE Trio Blanca.
 
Just like Brian55, I have 7 kits on deck. I also have 4 limited Editions on order. I need to start mass bottling soon since all my carboys and barrels are full.
 
A CC Showcase Merlo and a Gran Cru Chardonnay both with skins. First time with a kit with skins.
 
I ask the question but failed to say what I have on deck

Eclipse Lodi Ranch 11 Cabernet Sauvignon (my next kit)
RJS Watermelon White Merlo (Hope this one is drinkable by summer!)
Winexpert California Gewurztraminer
 
I get to anxious when they're on deck! The better question would be how many kits have I had on deck at one time..:) And to answer my own question it was 3 just a few weeks ago now in carboys I'm with jsiddall on this one...quote: The way I see it a kit in a box is getting worse every day while a kit in a carboy (or bottles) is getting better every day.
 
I have never had a kit in a box for more than 1 day. The way I see it a kit in a box is getting worse every day while a kit in a carboy (or bottles) is getting better every day.

This would be all fine and dandy assuming an unlimited budget, more than one primary, and a collection of long term storage. For the rest of us, we stock up when the price is right...
 
A month ago i had whittled it down to zero. then the bad man at my LHBS offered some RQ's from last year at a great price at the same time as 15% off the winery series kits. I now have 5 including the new RQ that arrived yesterday. NOTE TO SELF: must keep wife out of wine room

cheers
