Thanks for all the birthday wishes my wine making friends. Had a great day with the familyeating at Buffalo Wild Wings and then drinking some wine later that night. Thanks again! Monty

Racked and stablized today. I also made my first f-pac and added that as well. This tastes really good! The starting SG was 1.080 and it finished at 1.000. I created an f-pac using 3lb fresh blueberries and 1.6lb raspberry honey. I simmered on the stove to reduce and then added...

I plan to use this recipe. http://www.finevinewines.com/wiz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1622 I hope mine turns out as well.

I just purchased 30lbs of raspberry honey and am going to add some fresh picked blueberries to make a nice wine. From what I hear, raspberry honey ranks right up there with orange blossom honey for taste.
