win some lose some....

its been a slow week or so, not that much harvesting going on. as the seasons change, all my plants seem confused and have slowed their growth.

but, there were two developments... plum wine and crazy juice mashup wine are complete!

juice wine was great! a little fizzy, pretty strong, and *very* sweet. it was kinda like an aperitif wine or a ghetto muscato. i actually ended up cutting it with a white and then it really hit the spot.

the plum wine... sniffle... i was so excited. a real air lock and everything. but it seems like i either stopped it too soon or the plum by itself was just to light for the yeast that i used. while it was strong and dry, it had a faint bouquet of bread and tasted like cheap sake...

eh, so it goes.

i'm pulling in a harvest of apples today. gonna make some more cider and make some of it hard. depending on how much i make, i might end up making applejack :)

more on that later
