My first real bonehead winemaking moment

[PeterZ]

Smurfe, if that's your first really bonehead move, you are way ahead of the rest of us.

Remember Murphy's Corollary #3: If everything seems to be going will, you've obviously overlooked somethig.

Come'on Smurf.... these guys are saying you threw it out......


SAY IT AINT SO MAN.................


SAY YOU DIDN"T DO IT............................


Tell these guys what a great winemaker you really are, how did you save this batch?

 

[smurfe]

Sorry to say but yes I dumped it. I am very anal retentive and for a first batch of a particular varietal it has to be done exactly by the directions so I have a base to compare it to. It would of probably turned out funky anyway I am afraid. I was tweaking away when I realized whatI had done. I don't think it had a chance to be anything recognizable or decent. Not to worry though. I will make another and put big labels on the carboy.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your batch of wine. My heartfelt condolences. My next batch will have a piece of black tape on all bottle labels in memoriam.
