The fragrance coming from the airlock of this batch is the most heavenly aroma I've had from any batch of anything I've ever made. Fruity, floral, saison-y, and slightly alcoholic. This is my first try with this recipe and I'm very excited to see how it finishes. It's a simple cider of 6...

I've had a can of Alexander's Sun Country Sauvignon Blanc concentrate sitting around for a while. It never got used for the project I bought it for and has been shelved since. While picking gooseberries last week it occured to me that the sauv blanc concentrate might be a welcome addition to...

I've been borrowing gear for a while and want to build up my own. I just snagged a 5 gallon Rubbermaid water cooler for crazy cheap and did it up with a ball valve and SS water heater braid. Just got it assembled and haven't used it yet. Today I stumbled into an irresistible deal on a pair of...

I've crept this forum for some time and it's how I found the BOMM recipe/protocol. I liked it so much that I looked through everything on his website. My interest was really piqued by the Fidnemed Short Metheglin. I love mead and I love herbal teas, so I gave it a whirl using my own...
