Well, I meant with my last entry- Red Hot Dragon Blood - but it sounds good with anything Apple.

I have 2 kits already made but the only tweak is that I upped the alcohol content from 6% to about 14-15%.

Would this count as a proper tweak?
 
No already made wines, RotGit76. Sorry.

Now, if you were to start a new batch, you're in.

Since Joe is "baring" his kit, I will say that I am making an Orchard Breezin kit. I won't go into details just yet so as not divulge any secrets. But it is a day away from going into secondary.

Is there a maximum start date on these? I also started one in mid September right before the contest announcement, would that be too aged by January to qualify?

it's the one in the foreground.

so far we have

Drumlineridge winery
Jojabri
chasemandingo
Joe
Lori
Mogwai
Rotgut
Me

We might have to do some recruiting or Rod and Dave are going to have some pretty pathetic wine judging parties.

Who else is in?



This is what I see from previous posts;
@Jojabri
@RotGut76
@chasemandingo
@Mogwai913
@calvin
@joeswine
@richmke
@chasemandingo
@Rodnboro
@drumlinridgewinery@peaches9324
@LoneStarLori




Here's a thought. How about go for an early February timeframe? Even though these are early drinkers, tweaking, especially using fresh fruit makes it a little slower to mature. At least I would think it does. Also, it would give more people a chance to jump in that might be in the fence.


Any opinions ..

I started mine last week. It is bubbling along and smelling good. A February due date sounds good to me.

I'm down with February, with our home buying process, teaching couponning classes (and my own couponning), my uncle's passing, and the clean up of his HOARDED house, I haven't had time to breathe and be a wife/mother let alone a wine maker. LOL at my two kits and sitting on my counter all month and frozen fruit taking up much needed space in my freezer.

I intend on firing up tonight, assuming I don't collapse of exhaustion again...

Such is life as they say.
 
February works for me too. Every day that passes mine will get a little more age on it ;).

Wine makers are a humble bunch. I would expect at least a little bit of trash talk considering this is a contest. Sounds like we are getting a pretty good showing now too. The more people that beat me will just show me how much I can improve my skills.

Good luck everyone!

February is fine. Consider it official. Take your time, folks. We're in no hurry, here. I can push my retriement party back a few weeks. What do I care!

The best part will be getting paid for not working. What a great system! :db(x10)
