coming along nicely - she is in a 6.5 glass carboy. plenty of room. good bubbling. very intense fruit smell. bright.

Solid single layer of softened elderberries covering oak chips floating on a turbulent sea of reddish purple. The smell is gorgeous and I have too much time on my hands this morning.

The ferment is waning. SG 1.020. Should do glass this weekend. I can't smell vanilla at all and am hoping it comes in. Berry/Pom is very bright.

hi ya masta ! sorry no pics. shes drying out. i'm thinking two weeks till another racking.

got 18 gallons of naked juice for free. I was at the used book store and the lady was handing out samples. I asked why the juice was there and she said it was a donation from a local store, the due date was coming up and noone was buying it. she let me haul it all away. 6 cases, 6 half gallons each. i was floored. so i did this 3 gallon batch and another plain 6 gallon batch which is drying out. the rest i put in the freezer. it's all juice from concentrate, no preservatives. pom and blue, with apple and red/white grape. i think its gonna be good stuff.

 

[jojo]

trying to think of creative ways to use the other half.

jojo,


How was the taste? I checked out the site, but there were no stores near Dayton, OH. There is no better wine than that made from free ingredients!

 

[jojo]

it's mybest in taste an d its not mature yet.i made both dry and sweet batches. the dry is bright and aromatic. it's thick and dark and gotflavor that hits the nose more than anything i've done so far with fresh fruit. when it was in ferment you could smell it all over the house. haven't tried the sweet yet but i expect the same.
