What are you making and what have you made ???

[GreenEnvy22]

Bought a 23L bucket of Kerner today. Never made it before. Also using a yeast I've never used before, 58W3.
Should be interesting.

 

[J-Hat]

Not wine but I’m making a pumpkin ale

Going

Started some onion wine using Keller's receipe yesterday.

Added some garlic, lime juice. rosemary, and thyme.

Smells pretty good so far.

[Alan tate]

I always thought the smell and taste of vinegar/onion was a bad sing of spoilage

 

[rustbucket]

I bottled an RJ Spagnols Cru Select Australian Cabernet Shiraz Merlot last week and now have an Eclipse Nocturnal Wine, a Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine, stabilizing.

 

[Alan tate]

I remember bottling thousands off gallons of chateauneuf-du-pape in england shipped in from france.i didnt like it too much i found it earthy but hay everyones taste is different.

 

[rustbucket]

I agree, tastes do differ. Chateauneuf-du-pape wines are a favorite of mine.

 

[benchmstr]

currently: dragon blood, cabernet, pinot noir....and 12 gallons of imperial stout

I told you I had 18 carboys of various sizes with wine in them!

The Brunello is 22 months old (+ a week), so I can steal a taster from it if you'd like. I need to rack it anyway and add some Kmeta, I'll just steal the taster before the Kmeta if you promise to drink it quickly. If you remind me I can drop it off when I pick up the samples for the Chromo next month.

22 months??? Isn't it time that wine made it to the bottle?

I would love to sample it before buying one of these. Drink it quickly? Oh, okay.... if I must.

Craig, do you have a real job. That's about 15 batches a year. Where do you find the time?
