Proud as punch.
My Chardonnay is bottled and tasting good, i'll reserve six bottles untouchable for a while and drink the rest, this is a Solomen Grundy Gold Chardonnay kit. Not the best wine I've tasted but easy to drink, cheap and saves me drinking my reserves, lol.. I must admit real easy to make, the instructions are clear and basic, fast turnaround time ( box suggests 7 days but takes a few days more in this cold weather). Great choice for a first time wine maker who has not yet tasted a real fruit wine. Anyway I was so pleased I took a pic...Discount Home Brew Supplies

Duffbeers upgrade.
Well it seems the winemaking bug is sticking with me so I've decided to make full use of my cellar, do a little work and start to bulk age.cell1.JPG

It's a bit of a mess as I've never done anything with it in 12 years, a good scrape and brush down and a coat of fungicidal wash to start.[ATTACH]fatarse.JPG[/ATTACH]
I have to laugh at this point as I noticed when you run the curser over the last pic i have labeled it fat QUACK!QUACK!QUACK!QUACK! but the promp then states "enlarge image" lmfao
A little help from someone who regularly drinks my stock, she's doing a great job (mainly due to my supervision of course.Attached FilesLast edited by Duffbeer; 25-02-2007, 08:20 PM.Discount Home Brew Supplies

Organisation at last, I can now let the wife have the utility room back (within reason of course) I still use it for 5 gal brews.Attached FilesDiscount Home Brew Supplies
