Awesome! I have some friends that are firefighters and they would love it.

The tap handles look awesome. That cherry wood is beautiful, nice find.

I will post the recipes when I get home from work tonight. I think I got the blueberry mead from HBT, the honeysuckle came from Jack Keller's site, and the blackberry from a book I have called "First Steps in Wine Making". I'll dig them out and post them up later.

The small one gallon jugs are actually the honeysuckle wine. It tastes like a riesling with a great honeysuckle flower smell. The larger 3 gallon carboys are the blackberry wine and the blueberry mead. The mead has a dark red-purple color and it tastes delicious!

Winemaking is the ultimate procrastinators hobby. Do something, wait a month, do something, wait 3 months, do something else wait a year, then bottle. The picture includes a microwave, bread machine, bowl of potatoes and onions, an empty bottle of wine with opener, wine glasses, there is also...

Bottling! 3 gal of honeysuckle wine, 3 gal of blackberry wine, and 3 gal of blueberry mead!!! All are about 18 months old and ready for bottles.

Here's mine!

Its funny, we have two places to go during a storm; one is our inner most closet in the house (filled with wine secondaries) the other is the storm shelter (soon to be a fermentation chamber). Let the storms come, we are prepared!

I haven't learned the handshake yet but I found out what it takes to get a lifetime membership. I showed SWMBO and she is ready to help!

First test of stir plate.
