I know this is an old post, but I am a newby here. I am thinking about making some apwelwine and wondered what bombed. Some people love it, so I would love to hear what made this one fail in your opinion.

Clearing now...

Looks tasty. I'll post some of my works in progress once I get out of newby status. The system won't allow me to post pictures yet.

started some peach wine to blend with a mimosa flower wine I made last year. It's sour with a peachy aftertaste, so I think the marriage should be awesome giving it strong peach flavor.

Big Jeff, why are you ready wine just available? You have an obligation to get busy drinking what is "available" to make room for the others that just waiting to be available.

That's what I need to do. I made 5 gallons from fresh peaches a couple of years ago, and it was awesome. My wife went bonkers over it. I need to vacate a carboy first, though

I've never tried memosa. In fact, I've never heard of it before in a wine.

My current craft list

Racked my concord grape/raspberry to secondary today. A small sample shows this is going to be nice. It's right at 13% ABV now.

Looks delicious. How does it look now that another month has eased by?

Tom do you do any barrel aging ?? ie.. like 53 gallons or larger?? Just wondering because you have all 6 gallon carboys. Is there any reason why not or is it just becuase you can have a big different variations of wine. Just wondering

 

[Tom]

No, I like variety not quanity. So, no barrels. Of I forgot I need to update whats fermenting as I started some Italian and bottles some from 12 months ago.
