Fruit wines sound tasty though especially with all of the good stuff in season.

transfer a Chilean Malbec to secondary
start an Italian Trebbiano
stabilize & back sweeten a Port
bottle a sweet mead
next week: brew a brown ale of some sort
plotting for the future: 10g batch of Imp Stout

waylitjim: Home grown hops!! awesome!! i gave it a thought this year, but my time is spread thin, maybe next year. :):bow:
FredTheSilly: That Graff sounds interesting, there is an orchard very close to me that sells un-pasteurized apple cider, I was thinking it might be nice to use that. Hmmm....
Hippie: Nice Melons! I bet thats not the fist time you've heard that! :bow:
afg: Dude you are a busy man! Do you bottle everything, or do you have a keg setup as well? I've been looking into that it would be awesome for streamlining the process, but a tad bit pricey as compared to just recycling bottles.

I tend to go on brewing binges were I try to get all my fermenters full... then I don't have to brew again for a few months. But yea, I bottle my wines & meads and keg my beers. Kegging is great, but between the equipment then an extra fridge and whatnot it's pricey to get into.afg: Dude you are a busy man! Do you bottle everything, or do you have a keg setup as well?

Looks good WLJ !

Gonna transfer to a 5 gallon keg this weekend.
I'm currently dry hopping with 2 ounces of centennial.
Smells great!

I dry hopped my last batch of nut-brown with 2 oz.of homegrown cascades,It turned out very good.
I love watching the "storm" in the fermenter lol
And the floral smell was amazing!

For a sweet mead using lalvin 71b don't use 24 lbs honey in 5.5 gallons. Sure she likes it(and that was the point, so maybee thats ok) finishing at 1.048, but man... it's sweet... definately a dessert mead.
I got nothing other constructive for this thread except:
I like Centennials too!
Yup I"ll have another one for you!
I'm drunk!
don't sample meads on a work night. I should go to bed. :)
