Fun things afoot and I am slacking with updates this week, I know.
I am ferociously giddy with autumn wine-making. This week we harvested and pressed our wild apples and grapes, with two carboy-filled juic-y science experiments now bubbling in the kitchen with yeast and honey. And we are also busily traipsing through town with out-of-state relatives.

I ate so many wild apples and grapes, I developed a tummy ache.
Further updates forthcoming. How is your week developing?
=^..^=
How easy/difficult is it to make your own wine? I vaguely remember my Dad making dandelion wine when I was a kid!
It is a relatively easy process, MoneySmartGuides, just a bit time-consuming due to the racking process having different stages. After a few weeks of yeast fermentation, we'll begin our initial racking, or separating the wine from its sediment and siphoning/transferring it into another container.
You make your own wine? How cool is that? (very!)
This reminds me that I've got to get around to using the home brew kit my wife gave me for my birthday. She's pretty much telling me I have to drink more.
Well now, Joe, I wouldn't disobey the Misses.
WOW!! That is indeed cool!
Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog!
Have a nice day!
