Here are a couple of pictures of my 5 gallon carboy filled with my Cranberry Mead. It will stay in this carboy for four months to give it time to age and mellow out as a batch and then I will bottle it and let it age until Nov.

Red, that is simply beautiful. Hope you've got all of your friends and neighbors saving wine bottles. That will save you the expense.

All of my wine bottles go to a friend of ours just over the border in Arkansas. He makes very fine muscadine and plum wines.

I save liquor bottles for various reasons, and another friend of mine bottled some wine in those, using a properly sized cork, but I was wondering how the wine would do in a clear bottle.

That looks Yummy! I bottled my Raisin Wine this past November after only a month of secondary fermentation in the carboy. I'm disappointed because it came out very dry, but my neighbors seem to love it. I was trying to make a desert wine, but messed up somewhere along the line.

I also need a new gauge to measure the brix. After doing all the measuring and math, my brew came out to be 0.5%, but the neighbors told me that I'm FOS because their lips went numb after the first bottle......
