Wow!

What a Sunday. Bottled 20 gallons of various wines/mead all by myself! My wife was working so she wasn't available to help. Bet she'll drink a bunch of it, though!

Bottled 7 gallons on Peach wine (This is a crowd pleaser, everyone likes it.)
2.5 gallons of Sweet Cranberry 2003 (Needs about anouther 2 years to be really good).
5 gallons of a 50/50 Zinfandel/Syrah blend from 2003. (Good and in need of drinking).
5.5 gallons of a 2004 semi-sweet Orange blossom mead. (Love this stuff!)

Man did my back hurt after all that.

Plus I have a whole row of empty carboys in need of filling now!

Good job :) It is always good to make room for more fermentation!

I've got 5 gallons of a Blueberry mel that need to be bottled this week, so I can free up a container needed for a clementine mel...

Reluctantly, I will volunteer for the torture of assisting in helping you drink that. ;D May the gods grant you great brews.
