Update on wine making. (Day 8)

Just an update on the post I put up about making wine. I just racked it into another "barrel" or in this case, a glass jug about the size of a five gallon bucket. I became quite light headed from inhaling the fumes (on an empty stomach). They don't tell you what a royal PITA it is to clean the lees out of the primary fermenter (8 gal plastic bucket).

A note to remember when cleaning out the bucket. Put a strainer over the drain unless you like snaking the drain!
