Blueberry Melomel

Now we know why gas is so damned high..Wade hasthe oilall hid !!!!

Wade's secret identity is out now-he let it slip. He is really the Wizard of Oz. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain- well, actually do pay attention to him, he is one of the moderators. No wonder he has so much knowledge.

Room looks Great Wade! Yep, it's not a wine room until you leave a few stains.

Thanks JS, I think!

The paint is latex and the floor is linoleum so it will clean right up
as I already splashed the wall with squeezing the blueberries and
slipped a ploooop!

Nice easy clean up. I will have a picture soon as Im just exhausted as
last night my wife decided to change the water filters at 1:30 AM while
I was sleeping and I went to bed late as it was. Why she decided to do
this I dont know as I always do this, but anyway she couldnt get it
back on as she strethed the gasket a little . She woke me up and I
struggled with it for an hour before I finally got it to work since I
didnt have a spare gasket on hand. Anyone who has these filters in
their house should have a spare gasket as it always seems to catch you
with your pants down(or pajamas on)!

Well I punched the cap and it killed the foam that was there. All three
of these batches are low foamers. Be careful not to fall in!

.. lifeguard not neccesary!! looks good Wade, what did u use to tie the straining bag with? (string)

 

[NorthernWinos]

Nice color...bet it smells as good as it looks...

 

[Wade E]

I tied it with its self. Had just enough room to tie the bag in a knot
itself and man does it ever smell good. This batch smells better than
any other batch I have made.

Wade when i was in the navy i was stationed in Newport Rhode Island. Iworked on an island ( ammo Depot )and there were wild blueberrys all over the island i wish i had some now. I didn't know how to make wine back then but i ate a bunch of them. We had a cook on the island that would make pies & muffins if we picked them .That was in 1957

Racked the Melomel today and its going really good again from the
mixing up and introduction of a little air into the batch. Its the 2nd
1 on the left.
