The Atomic Wine Maker
Howdy, thank you guys for your help and vocalization in my semi recent threads on making European style wine. It was very helpful. So helpful that I am going to ask again.
I talked to the nice guys over at M&M wine company and they have told me that I should be able to 6 gallon pails of juice for 70$ + 30$ shipping possibly cheaper. However, if I was to buy a pallet I would be able to get the shipping cut down to a flat rate of 200$.
So, I am considering buying in with some people to try and make the 200$ shipping worth it.
Me personally Imagine myself wanting 4 pails, ie 2 pails of say pinot noir and perhaps 2 pails of say another European classic red.
So I have two stage question,
1) How many packs of grape skins or how many lugs of grapes would I need to ferment on my reds to ensure proper colour and tannin extraction in 12 gallons of wine.
2) Do any of you want to buy in with me? The must would end up getting shippied to Knoxville this Fall. Not sure if that works for any of yall.... How this would work would mostly on the honour system unfortununtly I believe.. Where you guys would first send me a check for your shipping and juice pail contribution... Unless I could talk to M&M into letting us each pay them directly and get a pallet delivered to Knoxville with our collective orders.
Do you guys have any thoughts on the above?
