I can be a lazy sonofabitch, sadly. I let something sit for a while, because I'm too autistic (not literally) to do things in a sensible and linear fashion.
Well, what do you know, it turned out good anyway.
I just turned a gallon of store-bought juice into actually fucking delicious 14%+ ABV fruit wine.
Tastes a fair bit like a brandy. And very on-brand for my current piratical mood.
I. MADE. GOOD. BOOZE.
Get on my level, scrubs.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
Again, I wasn't even trying to brag. If anything, I think beer is a lot more intensive than wine. Wine you just kind of do the thing and let it sit. Beer you've got heating, and carbonation, hopping, and all kinds of things.
A decent beer is, I think at least, more impressive than a decent wine.
