Well, double crap. Bad new is, they were out of cherries. Good news is, I got the honey. Bonus news is, I looked at the recipe and the Cherry Tart only requires the pureed lime zest, juice, and cherries in a muslin bag at Day 7. LOL *whew* Still have to get another can, but now I have wiggle room. It's the Grapefruit Crush that requires the honey up front. Never brewed with sorghum wort or Citra and Cascade hops before. I'll defer until tomorrow at this point. Both recipes look delish. Only batch I ever had to go bad on me was the Oktoberfestivus dark beer, and it had a bad batch of yeast. Otherwise spent the day cleaning and winterizing. About ready to start filling both aquariums with water, and hook up the wet/dry filters to the 110 gallon. Connie got the bright idea of planting two of the Ranier cherry pits from a bag of cherries I got her, and lo and behold, she has two 1" seedlings from them now. Probably winter them over on the same plant table as the citrus trees (the Key lime tree needs constant pruning because it's growing like a weed, same as the lemon tree, and it has a cluster of tiny buds, as well), then start reading like a madman on the pros, cons, and care of Raniers. I'm not even sure what growth zone they're supposed to be in.
