Hello and welcome to my blog. As you may be able to tell, I am by no means a wine making expert. I am constantly on the look out for new idea's and post them on here as they are found. I also post my wine making experiments (Mostly Mead) both as a journal for myself and for others to see, try and comment on.
Please feel free to use any of the recipe's if you like the results or have any questions or suggestions, please feel free tom post a comment. Don't be intimidated by the screening of comments, I just want to Keep this blog clean.
Cheers

I just racked the Pulque for the second time. Clarification is coming along, it is fairly slow but not as bad as the Cranberry Mead.
ReplyDeleteI measured the Alcohol level and it was sitting at around 12%. By the time this is bottled, it should be a nice light rose colour.
