Hmmmmmm.... if one were to do the consumption while doing the production the consumption time factor could be reduced and therefore have more enjoyment time ... right??? 
Based on my last trip to the woods in search of the wiley Wapati, there may be a flaw in this thinking.
It seems that ones' desire to produce anything, let alone a stable product for consumption goes down in direct proportion to the consumption of said product.
I was noticing that most of us sitting around the fire would indicate a desire to get up and make dinner and yet I observed little or no movement to the cooking tent, most of the movement was only toward the cases of MGD in the snow behind our position and every once in a while someone would go and make sure the trees were not dehydrated. Little or no cooking ever really occured.
Possibly one could have multiple batches and bring one online prior to beginning the pulling process associated with bottling. However, in this scenario one would imagine that the bottling process could be eliminated as well.
