Couldn't work at allotment today (hosing it down) so fixed the lighting in the winery, started to re-organise and paint, grapefest will be upon us soon, and I have been putting it off for too long....N.G.W.B.J.

I currently have a dehumidifier running constantly in the cellar and the water from its is pumped out using a condensate pump when the pump fills up. Keeps it at 50% humidity constantly. Will be changing the dehumidifier when I find another reasonably cheap one as this one only has high and low settings and would ideally like to be able to keep it at around 60% humidity rather tan 50% (a touch dry for the corks I fear).
Started a gallon of elderberry and blackberry (still got 20+ pounds frozen from last summer!) thats the start of my run on freezer goods for the next few ferments.
I was spurred on after bottling a gallon of last years Elderberry and blackberry with ma33 Yeast and a bit of oak. Tastes fab at 6 months good things to come at christmas
