He wanted mango / pineapple wine. I thought it was to much citrus, but I made it for him anyway, he said it isn't good.

Mint wine is all bottled, 9 quarts. I need to get quicker about bottling it, b/c "quality control" sure does put a dent in my finished product!!!! lol My second batch of green tomato is fermenting now. I just found some frozen raspberries and cherries from a while back, I am going to make...

My Gma, (who raised me) is from Maine, and she always made baked beans and pickle lily. It was pickles sliced green tomatos, I am not much of a pickle fan and really didn't like pickle lily. I will definitely be making green tomato wine every year. May try cucumber wine too.

I haven't tried beer, I'd have to find a gluten free recipe, I'm sure not hard to do. I had a rocky start on wine making, but now have several good batches under my belt. I am really enjoying it. Might just look into beer, but it seems more "involved" then my simplified wine making.

Well, a few weeks ago we had a big killing freeze coming, so I went out and picked all the mint that was easy to pic (long stemy stuff) I got 2 wally world sacs full. I pureed them w/ water in the blender and set the juice in the fridge for a few weeks to meld, seep, infuse whatever you want to...

Here is the chocolate wine start, waiting for the campden to do it's thing before adding the yeast.

Here is the recipe I used for green tomato wine, it is a mix of a few I found on line. 2.5 gallons 6-8 lbs of green tomatoes 3 bananas w/ peels 2 oranges w/ peels (remove white pith) 1/2 box rasins 8+ cups sugar (I did 8 but next time think I'll up it to 10-12) Chop tomatoes, bananas and...

Bottled the strawberry / orange / banana juice wine today, ended up w/ 5 quarts bottled and one settling out in the fridge. Racked the raspberry wine, it still has settling to do before it gets bottled. Got a quart of the raspberry "sludge" settling in the fridge too. Now I have 2 fermenters...

Here is the wine, still a tad cloudy but I figured it would settle while it ages.

So far what I've done to my tomato wine is chopped the tomatoes, boiled de-pithed orange skins added sugar, cut up 3 bananas, and 2 oranges. I am going to let that set for 2-3 days in the fridge to let the flavors meld and then I will strain. Add the raisins to the strained pulp, add more water...

Bottled the green tomato wine, I had a little over a gallon left after the explosion during an earlier racking. It is a pretty yellow. Tastes good even before the aging. I decided to bottle in quart canning jars, easy to find the lids and easy to clean and sterilize. Now on to the chocolate...

I combined several I found online, I did write it down, I'll see if I can find it

Just finished the first racking of my green tomato wine, and I had to sample some of it (quality control) and OH MY it is going to be some goooood wine when it is finished. And those containers worked perfectly.

Here is my ugly but surprisingly tasty green tomato pre-wine. Tonight I will take the spicket off and put a balloon on (after I add the yeast)

All 4 gallons of cherry wine are bottled and aging, now on to the green tomato wine. I am doing it in two 2.5 gal batches. I'm going to try to make it in my new Wally world find it is stackable, and I can remove the spicket and add the balloon for the ferment then use the spicket for...

Just bottled my first gallon of the cherry / tea wine, it is awesome (I sneaked a little at the end) It needs to age a bit, but still it is soooo good. This milk jug and balloon worked perfectly. So much better then that airlock.

Haven't posted on this thread in a while. I decided to try it again, but this time more down and dirty. I have been harvesting the cherry tree. I have juiced them and added a tea blend of, cherry, barvarian wild berry, and vanilla nut. The pre-wine juice is amazing. I am making 1 gall...

I just found it at my local Liquor store in the boxed wine section.

I know this isn't making your own wine, but I just tried one of the Freza boxed wines called orange blossom white, it is limited edition and it is AWESOME!!!!!

Yes pretty much. Not sure it is worth all the hassle and keeping it for so long (limited space and storage in my small house.) for both the making process and the Keeping of gallons of wine for drinking. For the actual amount of wine I drink, and that there are several store bought ones I...
