Bottled our first 2 batches yesterday! Got 15 1/2. Had 5 or 6 gallons in drawoff tank for more than a week, because of cold weather. Hopefully it has finally turned for us.
We keep track of when we bottle, April 2 was that latest ever, so this was quite close. It was also our worse production, let's hope that's not the case this year.
