Topic: Gallons this year

[grapeman]

Car-boy reqested that we have a new poll for this year- so here it is. Let's see who has been up to what here!

 

[NorthernWinos]

Does CarBoy work for the Feds???

Appleman...I noticed you didn't vote....You must be off the charts....

I wasn't up to my usual routine this past year....but have some to share.

 

[grapeman]

NW, I will put in a vote after we get more folks voting. I don't want to discourage others

 

[Travisty]

I'm at 41-80 gallons in my first year of wine making. Looks like I'll have to try harder for next year!

 

[Wade E]

111 for me down from just under 200 last year and it shows in my cellar. I have enough for a long time but what can I say besides Im addicted to fermenting stuff!

 

[Waldo]

105 for me and hardly anything left to show for all my hard work

 

[Darryl]

6 for me... my first kit going now... just started!!!!

 

[Wade E]

Dang Waldo, Do we need to get you some time locked corks?

 

[montyfox]

Made about 30 gallons this year. Looking forward to 2009.

Made this year?........... When is it made?..............I am thinking that it is not made untill it gets into a bottle. That is when it would be finished. Do to tasteing only about 30% of my wineever gets to the bottle so I should not have a problem with the ATF.

I read somewere that they go by the number of gallons fermented in your house. Edited by: Rocky Top

I have made 2 kits this year after cutting back on them drastically in anticipation of my vines producing some grapes this year. I have made a lot of wine from grapes this year and sold grapes also so I could stay under the limit.




My winery is currently handling this years crop,
being at various stages of sediment drop.
I have some juice in storage biding their time,
some are just turning intofine wine.
I have carboys lined up around the room,
Some are clearing really all quite soon.
Some are undergoing a malolactic ferment,
some done, MLF is spent.
Some are being a little moreslow.
Giving their all to take best of show.
Some are oaking, some are not,
but overall I have quite a lot!

GALLONS?????? YOU CAN MAKE GALLONS????????

I thought it was 200 BOTTLES!!!!!!!!!!

Naw..... I knew........

I didn't really keep track but I know it's been a slow year........

Probably in the neighborhood of 60 to 70 gallons.

105 for me and hardly anything left to show for all my hard work

Are you counting the 95 everyone sent you

 

[JimCook]

Only a moderate 92 gallons so far this year with fifteen kits started along with two 1-gallon mead batches. In the short amount of time remaining in the year, I'll be starting one more kit and 1-3 more 1-gallon mead batches.

Got about 45 gallons done this year - a couple burgundy kits, a couple cab kits, a raspberry Zin, blueberry melomel, a porter and an Irish Red ale.

Weird! I just looked at the posts for 2007 on this poll and noticed that I also made 47 gallons in 2007. It appears I'm a 47 gallon/year Wino.


But I made significant progress on bottling this year. This year, I have bottled:



5 gallons of 2007 peach
5 gallons of 2007 peach melomel
6 gallons of 2007 MM Castel del Papa
6 gallons of 2007 MM Moscato
5 gallons of 2007 Cyser
5 gallons of 2006 Mead
3 gallons of 2006 Blanc du Bois
1 gallon each of 2006 Apple and Banana.


Approximately 180 bottles. Edited by: dfwwino
