Default ok got the stuff, was looking for winemaking supplies

ok, I'm back and I got a boatload of stuff!!!!

I didnt get a corker or bottles, I figgure that i'll get them later.

First off, where am I gonna put all this stuff? I got a kit that
stores mostly in the 10 gal primary with a 5 gal secondary.

I've heard that you need 70 deg temps to keep the fermentation process
going, so running this in the basement wont work. I might consider
keeping it in the living room, if I knew the smell wouldnt be too
overpowering(how could i test?)

besides the winemaking kit, I also got a wine kit for practice. 5 gal
of wine is approx 25 bottles. just what am i gonna do with 25 bottles
of "practice" wine.

maybe I sould get a couple more secondaries to use as bulk
winebottles? anyone want to comment?

since i got this for doing something with the plums we got, I estimate
10-20 gallons of wine per season. PER SEASON!!! egads, I'll need to
build a 1000sq ft exspansion for storage. on my 2200sq ft house.

you know, I really dont drink that much either.
