1 gallon batch...came out great!

Very nice! How long are you going to age in the bottles?

Thanks!! For as long as I can stand to wait! One will be opened this evening, so...

Congrats. Love the labels.

I found a 1.5L Blueblood (Blueberry) from 2019. I opened it and put it on ice. After a couple sips, wife and I both said the flavor had dropped significantly and I ended up dumping.

I would definitely hide one bottle for a year. You will be very happy that you did.

For next time, I believe it is spelled "Teckel."

Rick D- So you area Teckle guy too. My Teckel is Marley. She is known fairly well throughout Kansas. She is a little tracking machine!

 

[RickD]

The lemon appears to have gotten lost, at least for now. I may try adding some zest to the bucket next time.

Doh!!!

Teckel. Sometimes my fingers don't type what my brain is thinking. Fingers sometimes have their own idea, especially on certain words.

Don’t rule out “Autocorrect” and blame your fingers or brain! There are many times I’ve reread postings only to find words I know that were not typed, highlighted as misspelled, and absolutely make no sense in the sentence. I now constantly stop, read, then reread posts and messages before hitting “send“ or “post”. I’m positive that it’s not that I’m old, have fat fingers, or the brain is misfiring, it has to be that @#$& Autocorrect! LOL They need to rename it to AutoChange, not Autocorrect!!

They need to rename it to AutoChange, not Autocorrect!!

I prefer the moniker "autocorrupt."

Sometimes I feel like the dyslexic guitar player going down to the crossroads to make a deal with santa.

Just finished my first batch as well and have to say "I am impressed" and so is my snobby wife who does not drink sweet blush. The mother in law even tried a sample and refused to believe I made it. I added raisins to the primary and oaked...perhaps over sweetened even with daves recommended amount. Enjoy!

My first attempt at Dragon’s Blood.
Tastes a little sharp. Needs some aging to blend flavors
