Shopping list, 2010 pre grapes

(Yeah, this is like my Aug. 1 post, only with a little more urgency.)
OK, destemmer and stand already ordered.
Much of our other equipment will be going to B's new place on Staten Island, so here's a list of what we're looking to acquire, with notes. 

Primary fermentation tanks,
  • at least one 44 gal., one 32 gal.,  one ten gal.  James Guido thinks he can get them for us at a commercial restaurant supply here in NY.  We'll know on Monday, Aug. 30.  Food grade: would like to avoid plain trash cans.  Lids yes, dollies no.
    • one 50 gal purchased @ Lapide, 8/29/2010
    • another 50 gal @ Lapides, 9/4/2010
  • We have plenty of 5 gallon buckets already on hand.  
  • We'll want additional large fermenters if Mike and Pam want to make a different wine than S&L&P.

Bottling:
  • corker, 
    • Portuguese floor corker @ Lapide, 8/29/2010
  • bottle washer, 
    • @ TP&S, 8/29/2010
  • large plastic funnels (2), 
    • @Bowery Restaurant Supply, 8/30/2010
  • 12 feet of 3/8" tubing, 
    • @TP&S, 8/29/2010
  • 150 colmated corks (for the remainder of our productions still in carboys).  
    • 100 @TP&S, 8/29/2010
We can get this either from Presque Isle or one of the other houses we've used, or from Terminal Market.

Secondary fermentation, aging:
another stainless steel variable capacity tank is what we would really love to get, but it's a little too rich for us this year after the destemmer, so
  • just more carboys.  M&P own four, S&L own two, but two have P's 2007 Cab. S. in them, and three have 2009 wines in them.  I think we're going to want to have a total of 10 empty at press time at the end of next month.  Probably best to buy these at Terminal Market.  
    • one 5 gal cb @ TP&S, 8/29/2010
    • 3 more 5 gal cb @TP&S, 9/4/2010 
    • 6 more 5 gal cb @ TP&S 9/18/2010
  • We'll also want new caps and bubblers for these, which I'll order from P.I.
    • 6 caps & bubblers @ TP&S, 9/4/2010

Chemicals, additives, tests:
  • KS02, 
    • 2 # ordered 9/6/2010 from MoreWine.
  • malolactic bugs.  
    • ordered 9/6/2010 from MoreWine - enough for 66 gal. 
  • Anyone want any extracting enzymes?  (I'm willing to pass on these this year, though I've been the one who's suggested them in the past.)
  • Clinitest (which I think I might like to use for the white wine)
  • Accuvin acid tests
    • Tartaric acid ordered 9/6/2010 from MoreWine.
