Mornin' to everyone reading this.

I am new to this although my father 30 years ago made mead wine ( from his own beehive honey ) My mom still has 2 bottles left in the basement (and is still good according to friends last christmas ).

Well about 2 years ago I bought prime jan blackberries (huge blackberries ) for my garden , i had them on my cereal, muffins, made jam, mixed in ice cream to the point of eating them by the handfulls got kinda tired of all that...... then it hit me do what my dad did ( DWDD ) .... make wine. at first I thought easy enough to do ......until I really got started........ it is like baby sitting ..... if you dont watch them closely they get into trouble the minute you turn your back and forget them.

Well anyway I want to thank everyone here for all the info I have read.... ps my first batch of blackberry died in 3 days so I mixed it with my red rasberies from my garden and fresh blue berries.... turned out good about the same color as the dragon blood but when exposed to a bright light it was a bright flouresent red.

I might call it Snake Blood or Snake Venom ( sorta like dragon blood , which I like ). well any way I have just finished my apple wine and bottled and started my dads recipe for mead wine from some canned honey ( survival food cans ) from the 1970's ( sugared and dark had to double boil it to get out of cans ) .

Oh the little critters are loving that stuff (sounds like a baby snake hissing in the corner of the basement).

here are some pics of my home made tools ( trying to be frugal (CHEAP ) until I can afford it all )
