khana shelves

I thought I'd share the shelves I just made for the ger. These hang off of the khana itself and can be placed anywhere in a ger. I've tested these with 40lb on them and they hold easily. The best part is they pack completely flat. For my test I used some press board shelves from an old desk I'm getting rid of. Any more I make once i run out of these shelves I'll use pine since it's lighter. I used 2 L shaped hooks to grab the khana, cut two slots to hold the rope (so they can be removed for storage) and that's it.

fermenting fruit...

I so love the smell of fermenting fruit. I don't know why, but I just do. Every time I walk into the basement and get a whiff of the strawberries and bananas I love it.

Strawberries

Yesterday I decided I needed to start more wine so I headed to costco to see what looked good in fruit. I spotted a huge pallet of ripe strawberries so I knew what I had to do. I bought 40lb (10 4lb flats) of strawberries and 18lb of bananas. 32lb of the strawberries went into the 10 gallon bucket (should yield about 8 gallons) and 4lb went in with 15lb of the bananas in the 7 gallon bucket (should yield 4-5 gallons). The rest was for the family to consume. We had strawberries on pound cake with whipped cream for dessert last night. yum!
