Your mead looks tastey. Here's what I had for Black Friday.

That's very, very red.

I'm reconfiguring for the winter months, and have nothing going right now.

I had blackberry and pear cider for thanksgiving. It turned out pretty good. The batch last year was good at the beginning and then got a bit skunky after a few months.

Hope to begin bottling more wine in a week or so when we see if they start to clear out a bit better.

Can you describe the taste?

Well, our family had the “day after Thanksgiving feast” at the farm today. With the drought, I can’t find Mustang grapes in our area. Both my BILs had their home brewed beers for us to drink.

My younger sister’s husband had a really smooth, slightly dark beer similar to Shiner Bock. I got a buzz after two, but knew it would be over three hours before I got on the road home. I’ll try to get his beer recipe and post it here.

If you were going to be an interstellar colonist, and you wanted to go into this business, how much equipment and what variety of supplies would you take with you?

I cracked the first bottle of my Sathana’s Ers, a Belgian-style ale, tonight. Intense cherry flavors, not from cherries themselves, but from a handful of cherry wood chips, soaked in bourbon. Excellent flavor and body, but I think it’s going to need a few more weeks in the bottle for more conditioning.

Your mead looks lovely! Do you have to prep the honey in any special way? I’ve thought about doing a mead, but have never gotten around to it.

Sipping a Belgium triple I bottled Sunday. Very tasty and 9%.

I bought 3 kinds of spiced wheat beers (My favorite type of beer)on Wednesday and proceeded to try all 3, one of them being a bomber. I then decided to try one of my triples and promptly began slurring and went to bed early.

Today I traded 12 of my home brews for 3 bottles of home made wine my Moms friend makes. Mom described them as $50 dollar a bottle quality so I look forward to trying them but feel as though I should save them for a special occasion.

My local home brew store is having a 15% off sale tomorrow so I'm going to brew up 10 gallons of spiced wheat. I've already given away and/or traded 30 bottles of my triple...so far.

I brewed my first batch almost three weeks ago.

I’ve got Caribou Slobber (Moose Drool knockoff), still bubbling after three weeks.

A friend brewed up a Brewer’s Best Scottish Ale. Hers is done fermenting, and is cold crashing for bottling on Sunday.

Another friend wanted in on the act, so we brewed up a high-gravity Maibock. I don’t have lagering capability, so we used an ale yeast instead.

That mead looks beautiful. I have a question for you and your list. I want to surprise Hubby with wine making kit for Christmas. He has some grapes frozen that he wants to make into wine.

Any recommendations for decent moderate priced/best buy equipment would be appreciated. Thanks.
