Merry Christmas everyone

Northern lights in my village Iceland last October.

Welcome!

Thank you so much, but when the fermentation stopped, the color changed very quick and the wine started to look closer to normal. The wine is clearing very well now with normal color. I guess the reason may be that I still had the nylon bag with the mint leaves after the fermentation started...

I am making two different types of mint wine. A: My regular recipe that includes zest B: New recipe, a bit different and includes tannin. I guess this is the first time I am using Campden and I used them in both wines. The B wine turned red as soon as is started fermenting, the...

Without a doubt, the easiest way is to boil them. Let me know if you make it to Iceland, - you never know if I make it to Alaska.

In my opinion there are several different ways to juice the berries for wine making. I have tried two different types of juice grinders, the manual crank juicer from my grandmother, I used for few years and then I bought one that fit to my Kitchen Aid. I gave up on both of them. For 2 or 3...

Well, we don´t have a whole lot, but we have been growing them since 1939 or so, and I have heard that some plants have been exported! So, you are right.

It may surprise you, but indeed we do grow lot of bananas in our greenhouses here in Iceland.

I love to make wine out of water, especially when I can use something in my backyard for it. I have been making my own wine every year for the past 10 years or so and then occasionally before that. Mainly I have been making rhubarb wine, because rhubarb grows extremely well in colder climates...
