Default Hello from Canada :)

Hi everyone, my name is Jamie and I’m from New-Brunswick, Canada. I only started making wine about 3 years ago when I bought my house. On my property there were 1 pear tree, 1 apple tree, 7-8 yellow plum tree, 1 red plum tree and a couple of small cherry tree. The pear tree gives ALOT of pears and I didn’t know what to do with them so that’s how I started to make wine

Last year I’ve also made wine from grapes for the first time. My neighbour’s father had some grape vines and he doesn’t use them so I took them home and fermented them

This weekend I plan on doing a little batch of sumac wine, and raspberry wine. Also I plan trying making hard cider (Apfelwein) when the apples will be ready.

Last month I’ve made my first beer, it was only a kit (festa brew, wheat ale). It’s a pretty good beer. Most likely in the future I plan on make beer “from scratch” though.

This winter I plan on building a cellar and a working bench since this hobby is bigger and bigger hehehe

Cheers everyone, this place look super awesome and loaded with information!
