'Dragon's Blood' Triple Berry Mix (Thanks, Dave!), 5gal: Coming along great, at 1.030 today, should be in a carboy soon, has nice fruity smell emanating from it!
Lemon Wine/Skeeter Pee, 5gal: In the final stages of clearing, should be ready to bottle this coming week or the next, tested at ~9.5%ABV
Carrot Wine, 5gal: Also clearing, needs more flavor. This one needs some aging for sure. I'm debating what kind of additions I can make here. Banana sounds like it may be good. A friend recommended avocado! I may make a flavor pack with 3lbs bananas and 2lbs avocado and add that to see how it goes. Considering putting in some sorbate and sparkolloid at the same time and then racking it to get it all mixed up. Tested at ~12%ABV
Cranberry Wine, 1gal: Failed! I think the temperature was consistently too low for it (61-63F) to take off before it vinegared at SG 1.040. All is not lost though, I siphoned off some for an experiment of an ancient Roman drink consisting of wine vinegar and water called Posca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posca)
