I got them because I thought the may just be ugly quinces? But they have a pith, not a core (ok, I was 8 last time we had a quince tree, but I thought they had a core...) Anyhow, anyone able to tell me what it is? Just boiling them up now to see if they develop any flavour (a bit potato-like...

DH brought home some "really cute" peppers from the farmers market. Now everything he cooks brings tears to our eyes (he's got to use them, you see). Anyhow, I figured I' just nick them and make a small (very small) batch of jalapeño wine. Seen as I don't want to use my habitual fermenters and...

Has anyone made mango wine? I have 9 mangoes, 2 oranges and 3 lemons. I figure I plop it all together and add sugar to get to the right SG. (1G batch) Many recipes include bananas though. So I wonder if it needs the tannin? Thanks.

Since I was running out of carboys, and the three were pretty clear, I decided to bottle them today. From left to right (big bottles) blueberry-pomegranate, banana (oh all you people who say it doesn't taste like banana are liars btw :-p), and mead with a touch blueberry (what can i say...

i started a 1 gallon batch of dragonblood, and it's fermenting so actively, that my primary was overflowing. too much must - i've read about foaming, but after my other 2 tries, i didnt think it could be THAT bad - haha. i poured some into a big jam jar and have it in the fridge for now. so, i...

My hubby got himself a 5 gallon wine kit, which gave me the idea of making some mead. when i looked at the cost of honey though, i decided to go for a small batch, 1 gallon. I found someone selling gallon jugs on kijiji, so i got myself 5 - 4L jugs, and was given an extra 3L one. So i went...

... Well close enough to count as GTA anyways. Hello everyone! I'm more into this from an experimental point of view, but if I actually get some nice wines out of it that'd be bonus. Looking up recipes etc on google, I kept getting referred to posts in this forum, so here I am :-) I've got a...
