My friend Melodi has a grape arbour. It's really just to shade her porch, so she let me pick as many grapes as I wanted. With that and the honey and some old wine making equipment from the mythical memory of Pueblo, I made wine today.
Now we have fruit flies.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like grapes.
ReplyDeleteIt's the yeast that makes the wine. What kind of yeast did you use? There are special strains you can get but just the naturally occurring yeast on the skins of the grapes will work too, although they can induce off flavors and aromas. That's the reason for specialty yeasts. Let us know how it turns out, okay?
ReplyDeleteEver tried making beer? Pretty easy to make good beer.
ReplyDeleteI used Bourgovin RC 212 yeast.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have made beer in the past. It had a low alcohol content and was filling. Less alcohol! More calories! More bitter!
Pretty crappy beer, honestly, but it was fun.
For the love of God, don't waste it.
ReplyDeleteBut I like Wasted Wine!
