Club Dubya - My new Online Community

Check out Club Dubya. My newest experiment in "Social Networking" Call me Naive, but I would like to create a non-corporate online community with an emphasis on the word "Community" Maybe I'll even stick in a Wine making section if there is enough interest. It is still being worked on, but feel free to drop in and say Hi. There is already a few members and we are growing.

  3. 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.
    I 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.
