I like to brew wine; It's only a hobby but I'm obsessed!
This is the place to be if you want to see what another brewer is up to or want some encouragement to start or diversify. I've posted heaps of recipes (clicky) and 2 wine-making vids (here for wine made from cartons of juice blog / youtube, and here for Blackberry wine on the pulp blog / youtube).
If you're new here then do explore, take this link for tips about where to find what you're interested in.

Sipping

Tonight I'm sipping .... Rosehip & Cinnamon from November 2008. It's a special occasion. Wish i could glug, but early start tomorrow (yikes look at the time!) means I can only indulge in moderation. So what can I say ... it has things in common with Jim Beam that isn't in Jack Daniels (tho i'm a single malt kind of Whisky appreciator). But I do like it for a late night sip! Dry, lemony, sharp edge, nice pucker, lingering aftertaste, fruity and warming. Boy did it take it's time to get here, not one for the impatient brewer.

Got through a small mountain of empty bottle processing too. Soon to come ... a bottling session (3 gallons or so) cos I don't have wine to give to mates at the mo, and I love giving it.
