I made an experimental batch of apple berry blush reusing the fruit from my strawberry and blackberry batches. I threw in the paddy rice from my sake, too...base is frozen apple juice concentrate. Can you tell it was time to clean out the freezer? It needed a serious defrosting. Smells horrible during 1st rack, but apple normally does smell gassy...I am sure the rice contributed to that, too.

I'm new to this hobby and obsessed already! My first batch was Strawberry Reisling from a boxed kit. Bath #2 was pineapple, didn't know what I was doing yet and it got dumped after a few weeks of fementation. Tried pineapple again using a recipe, bottled and tastes GOOD!
Current primary--1 gal of cranberry
currently fermenting--3 gals of fennel
just bottled--mint
Already bottled: pineapple, blueberry, maple (not drinkable--no real taste but good for blending), black current (needs LOTS more aging)

You're right. It is an obsessive hobby

What does fennel wine taste like?

I'm finally gathering steam after almost 2 years of house selling and relocation chaos. I have 3 gallons of crab apple ready to rack, 2 gals crab apple just starting, 1 gal cran, 1gal cran grape, 1 gal chokecherry, planning 5 gal of 5 part cran, 3 part grape, 2 part apple cherry (house blend). 13 gallons is a good start! Near future - cran pomegranate, more apple, plum, maybe more chokecherry (someone wants more jelly instead)
