Hi folks:
My first batch of Savignon Blanc is still in the carboy, currently getting nice and clear sitting on the basement floor. I'll probably be filtering and bottling tomorrow. Overall I've really enjoyed this, and since I regularly enjoy wine from the liquor store, I see myself continuing to do this for years to come. Question though...in my household, I have several things that affect where I do my winemaking - a husband who doesn't want to trip over things, cats who are naturally curious and want to investigate the fizzing bucket by knocking off the lid, etc. I did my fermentation in a closet in a spare upstairs bedroom, because my basement was too cold a month ago. I drag a stool into the bedroom when I'm going to siphon since there really isn't a table in there, have hubby there to hold things steady and stuff everything back into the closet when i'm done. So as I've been doing my thing with the wine kit, I've often had thoughts of a table that would make things easier for the person without lots of space. In my mind, my fictional winemaking table has higher shelf for placing the primary for ease of siphoning, a groove for it to fit into to make it unlikely to tip. A lower shelf for the carboy to sit on with a groove too, maybe even something bottles would fit into once you're ready to start bottling, to keep them steady. Even a storage area to put your stuff when you're not using it. All of this would fit in a standard closet. Surely I'm not the first person to think of this. Is there such a thing as a table for this purpose? Or do I have to build my own? Thanks! KD |
