What Tastes Like Purple?

Note to Zirn, Curt, and self - if you think 15 pounds of home-grown, hand-harvested, super awesome tasting Concord grapes smashed and pressed into a 5 gallon glass carboy with sugar and yeast then left to ferment resulting in a sweet, refreshingly delicious beverage sounds too good to be true - you may be right.  

Let me introduce you to Mount Wine-suvious:

and...

You probably can't tell but that cloth wrapped around the neck was originally white.

Seriously, I do have "wine" flowing into the drain in my work room and it smells like an excellent weekend spent in the Napa Valley, but in no way is this a bad thing.  12 months from now this will be a very GOOD thing.  

The second 5 gallon batch (white bucket in the background of the above photos) looks just fine and is showing no signs of overflow.  

Also, the Blueberry Surprise made from leftover simple syrup and year-old frozen blueberries is bubbling away:

Who needs manufactured fermentation locks anyway?  A rubber glove with a pin hole secured with rubber bands works just as well.  When I walked in to check on this today I high-fived the wine like 6 times.  

Good work boys.  Update to the "currently fermenting" list:

2 - 5 gallon batches of concord grape wine made with home-grown grapes

1 - 1 gallon batch of Dandelion Wine

1 - 2 gallon batch of Raspberry Wine

1 - 3 gallon batch of Strawberry Wine, and the hot July moon didn't see shit

1 - 3 gallon batch of Orange Wine

1 - 1 gallon batch of Orange Zest Wine

1 - 1 gallon batch of Blueberry "Wine"

1 - 5 gallon batch of Appleweis

Keep it fermenting.
