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.
I've been brewing beer from hand crafted home made wort for a while now. When I bought this new house, it had a full wet bar in the basement. So the natural thing to do was to buy a refrigerated keg, a commerical CO2 canister and rig my own tap. So now I have custom wort hand crafted beer... on tap, at my own home bar. The next order of business will be to find a way to custom mill the handle and make a custom label to put on it.
Living the dream.
