I started because my wife got me started on it 3 christmas ago.
She had been watching me do an old apple cider recipe for a bout 5 years(Hard Cider) She knew I enjoyed that and so she surprised me with a 1gl starter kit. I dont think she realized at the time what a monster she had created
I still have one or 2 batches of Pom to do.
What recipes did you 2 use?

Yes I like to think I am in teh know of whats going on in the produce Biz. My suggestion to any of you who make country wines. Get to know your Produce manager.He can probably set you up with some Sweeeet deals .
TY Yes I do. I tend to go in spurts.Nothing in my fermenters for a month or so and then all of the sudden I have 3 or 5 going at once
I still have 2 batches of Pom to do, as I work as a produce Manager I get some really good deals on some of my fruits. For example my warehouse guy wanted pom...
Oh don't get me wrong I have done quite a few 6 and 5 gal batches. It just happens right now that I have a bunch of singles goiung trying different things :)
so far I have held on to the last bottle of each batch. Wating for a special occasions thing:) Although someone who just opend my 2004 Strawberry said it was wimmpy. I havent opened this bottle yet. so I dont know.
