I logged on this fine afternoon to see that I had comments that needed to be moderated. On 6/9/09. Forgive me.

Other than that... the news!

I brewed my first batch of mead today. 5 gallons made from 12lbs of Oregon Raspberry honey. In 2 long weeks I will be racking it to a carboy and reporting again.

I don't have pics of my setup due to Sandy not having a charger for her camera, and my reluctance to purchase a phone of my own.

All in all, mead is surprisingly easy to make. I took about 1.25hrs to sanitize my equipment, sanitize the must, and get everything into a 5 gallon fermenter. I have another couple carboys going to waste now that I realize it... Perhaps I'll make a Pinot Noir next weekend.

Now what I need from your RSS junkies: Bottles. Please hang onto any bottles you have. I have 5 bottles that I can use. It's going to be fun to serve wine out of jagermeister bottles. Haha! 5 gallons makes about 24 bottles, so I need some help.

Stay tuned.
