yes. i have started. i am currently on a batch of strawberry but am having a few issues or not. i dont knopw. i posted them already. but i am looking to start making a mullberry, elderberry and raspberry honey wine as soon as all of my plants and trees begin to yield this year. untill then im using frozen fruit. i still need to buy a hand corker and i need to get more sanitizer. all of my equipment is left over from when my dad and granddad made beer 10 years ago. im in this with my brother who has made 2 batches befor, a watermellon peach and a dandoline. the dandoline was gross, but he didnt wait long enough to bottle and the other was great but a little to young still.

Please dont waste your money on a hand corker!!!! Spend the little bit more and get a Portuguese Floor corker. The Italian is better but The Portuguese is just fine and Ive been using that for many years with no problems at al and I dont regret it 1 bit!

I'm in this with my brother and he suggested that we get a floor corked. We are planning on making 5 gallons of the following: elderberry, mulberry, blueberry and maybe some raspberry honey in the coming months.
