It seems that I picked the right time to harvest; more of the grapes had started to drop and I think in a week or two I would have lost them. The total yield filled a 5-gallon wine fermenter, although there were closer to 4 gallons after some natural compaction on the way home. I quickly tired of the potato masher and took a hand blender to them, yielding 10.6 litres of pulp, so my guess is that the harvest this year was around 11kg of grapes. 0 false 4 70477 false false false Entry 2009-11-03T11:00:00+11:00 DMY Public 2009-11-04T07:57:54+11:00 4543 Sunny 8 C
