I only met your better half once or twice, but I think she used a similar turn of phrase to describe you John.The OG says it's a bit sweet with an easy finish.

It's a fair amount of work to produce 14 1.5L bottles of wine. The equipment buy in was around $300, I started in August with 2 gallons of juice, 4 gallons of purified water, and some yeast. And a lot of moving around containers with some specific chemicals to prevent spoilage, etc.But seriously, nice work. My Dad brews his own beer and has been trying to get me interested in it for a while. I'd much rather make wine or distill my own spirits.
There's a member on here making wine, Leadeye, search his name and wine.
I managed a little over 12.5% on this batch. I'm pretty happy with my first effort.I brew beer & wine. Just bottled/kegged a pineapple cider kit @ 5%, skeeter pee( water,lemon juice,sugar, & yeast) @ 11%. I bottled a california moscato @ 7 %. I am getting ready to brew a dubbel & a hoilday spiced ale. I made a dragons blood wine last year from scratch( mixed berry, sugar, water,yeast. I use 7 gallon fermonster now instead of the bucket or glass carboys. As with any hobbie the initial startup is expensive, but the cost per bottle on wine or beer is way cheaper than at the store. going to make this next summer:
I was expecting a bigger turnout, but oh well.Just discovered this thread, makes me wonder how much of Ingo I miss out on.
Why isn't sweet little Susie keeping an eye on the coons for you?I've got more than I need these days. Other than killing every raccoon in the forest I don't see how I'll beat them to the paw paws. The year I bought this woods they were full of them and I brought buckets back to make many gallons of a great wine. Since we moved here I've never gotten more than enough to make a gallon.
So, you have now given me a reason to request an in person visit to the Leadeye compound.Working on a legal leadeye bourbon project, I'll post it up after I sample the results.
