My first batch of wine was ready a couple weeks ago and I have been drinking it pretty steady. It’s ok taste a lot like cheap box wine but with a good kick, I mean quick like shine does. I used a D47 yeast and 6#’s sugar on it , I have another batch with 1118 yeast and I think it will be about the same 14% abv . And one more batch using a recipe I got from a friend. It all makes wine but I would really like to be able to make it like this old lady that I knew when I was a kid ,,, hers was really good, smooth and tasty.

Anyway that is a little update on the experiment. I have to get around 25-27 750ml bottles for each bottling or drink fast enough to have this empty in time. “ I Can Do It “ burp.

Thanks again fellas.

If everyone wanted to help with the next experiment......., a retort furnish. For biochar.
A retort, you say?

The sugar will give it a cydery taste.....not apple but you'll know when you taste it. Also a hangover/headache.

Seriously make sure you are not still fermenting after you cork or cap. Unless you want any sparkling........but don't try that yet..
Think glass grenades....I always keep the box the glass came in or at least any box. You keep the full bottles in there so no glass everywhere if they blow.

The flavor may get better with time.
