How much wine do you plan to make in 2009?

[Cellar_Rat]

2008 saw me just miss my 1000 bottles target.

So am going to have another go this year.

Septmeber here we come

[spritzer]

Weeeeeeeeeellllll

So far I have made 25 gallons ...
I have at the stuff to make at least 30 gallons, waiting to go.
So I think my initial guesstimate of 60 gallons, was a little on the low side...

Time will tell

[goldseal]

I have yet to hear of anyone who ends up making less than they estimated

I have 8 gallons bubbling away just now, before that i made 3 gallon but thats drunk already as it was my 1st 3 gallon ever, i couldn't help but drink it. I think i'm just going to keep making as much as i can and get a good stock up.

Unlike the rest of you seasoned alcho........connoisseurs I have a lot of catching up to do, but the wife has allowed me the spare room and the shed, will put with the smells, noises and cursing. I'll just aim to make a couple of drinkable batches, first.

Still, received 10x1Gal glass demi-johns over the weekend. Should be able to make a good start. Currently have a No.1 and a No.2 on the go.

On the subject of Chillies, we grow our own (have made exceedingly hot Naga Morich chilli sauce in the past. Not a wise move) and I thought of making a Chilli based wine…………I want to make good wine but also want experiment a bit!

I made a chilli wine the other year, just sliced the chillis into the must at the start. It was quite interesting.. fair bit of a kick on the aftertaste.

I reckon I will make about 60 gallons this year.... but hopefully I will be a bit more organised about it...
The latter part of the year was a bit of a rush for me... so I will try to avoid that this year



Oh... And I am glad that I live in an area where the tap water is "good".
When I lived in London, I always had to buy water to drink, as the tap water, although they said it was drinkable... it tasted nasty.
I think, for the amount that it rains here, I would feel a bit seen off if I had to buy drinkable water

Gonna re-guess now... at 90 gallons

Any chance of a few pictures of all this wine???
I'm intrigued to know how much space it takes up haha...

Don't take the pee but I've only got between 5 and 10 on the go at the minute lol...

37 gallons for me so far, looks like my initial estimation of 60 gallons will be pretty close. On the other hand, I still have quite a few 1 gallon odds & sods that need to be made and there is Grapefest coming up..............

[cpfan]

So far in 2009, I have bottled 52 Imp gallons of wine, and 5 of beer. 21 gallons of the wine were started in 2008. There is 11 gallons of wine and 5 gallons of beer underway. I have three kits waiting to be started (all 5 gal).

Hmmmm...
No piccy's

To be fair... quite alot of it has been given away

[goldseal]

I have just had a quick count-up, and I have started 55 gallons this year.

So much for cutting down

And I made 15 gallons for a wedding ...

Not sure what I will guess for next year...
