I I stepped into the warehouse (plumbing supplies) saw this box, and thought Wine kit!

I racked again. Same off flavor. I sweetened with some fireweed honey. I didn’t try it. There was about 1/2 cup left in the carboy. I added a few drops of Torani mango syrup. Ohhhh!!! Very nice! Next weekend I’ll see how the wine sweetened wit honey tastes.

Ok , not so soon on the update... I used way too many flowers. Still in a carboy. Taste a bit off. Maybe a bit card boardy. Hopefully not oxygenated. I plan on sweetening with some fireweed honey. Should bottle soonish. I’m not in a hurry. Cheers
