What R you doing today?

[WalkingWolf]

Reading the variety of threads here has motivated me to sample my blackberry brag/mel that was started the beginning Jan. '11. SP 1.000 and has been for some time. Crystal clear and dry. The beer aspects are the first thing you taste with a tart fruit that comes on after. Sweetened just a bit does makes it more enjoyable. This is very young as this is supposed to age minimum 18 months.

Picked about 25 pounds of Dolgo Crabapples. Will pick more next week.

Walkingwolf, you must have accidentally hit the triangle button right next to the submit post button which submits your post but hides it for admin or a mod to see, I fixed it for you. That Braggat looks wonderful and after all these years Ive never made any. I have a 6 gallon bucket downstairs full of golden rod honey and some frozen Black Currants from my bushes and I might just have to try it. Would you be kind enough to throw me the recipe you used and Ill adjust it for Currants as they have a lot more flavor then most fruits lb for lb.

Thanks Wade -- Not sure what happened but the post didn't show then saw the mead forum so posted there.

My brewing "stuff" got cleaned up so I'll have to locate it. I'll get it to you.

Started 6.5 gallons of Skittle wine today. It has a pretty crappy brown color. Sorry but thats the only way I can describe it. I hope it turns out as good as they say it does.

That's the way mine looked when I started it. Eventualy it "redded" up.

I went out to Tanglewood today to hear my good friend James sing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra as part of their choir! Even though a little rainy, still a great day!

Yesterday I racked the 4 white wines I have aging in the cellar. I need to back sweeten them then bulk age a few more months. Thinking of steaming elderberries this week sometime and getting that started. I think I'll go for a 7-8 gallon batch which will be about 5-6 lbs per gallon based on what I have collected.

I'm back to work after 12 days off. :< At least I'm off this coming Friday.

Taking it easy today, took the day off since I have been running the last three days. What a blast the Bantam Jeep Festival was!!!!!!!!!!! We broke the world record for the longest jeep parade, 1106 jeeps. Weather held for the weekend, except when we were coming home, got wet but it was worth it.

Took a couple of bottles over to the neighbor's house last night since I was invited for dinner. The Strawberry Mango was a hit but I've got to start making it a little less potent. It's hard to put down your glass. Two glasses and I'm almost running into walls. I think the ABV should be around 12% but it sure seems like more. I started with 1.085 and ended with .998. Maybe we could drink more if I started with an SP of around 1.070. I've got to find that formula for the alcohol content.

I just booked a cruse to the Bahamas for Vicki and my 10 anniversary which is Nov 9th. Cruises are her favorite type of vacations so I know she'll love the surprise. Who's gonna watch my wines when i'm gone?

Picked about 40-50 pounds of Dolgo Crabapples tonight. Already have about 18 pounds in the freezer. I am thinking we'll get about one more good picking. Now if I could just find someone to help destem and pick out any wormy apples tomorrow.
