[Herbalist] wine

[Katherine Blackthorne]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Egg usually works fine for me.  My biggest problem with clarifying tends to be
a batch that clears fine... then clouds back up when the bottle is chilled.
~shrugs~  But as long as it's just aesthetics like that, and the med tastes
OK, I don't mind much.

What I really AM upset about is a 7 gallon batch of my "regular brew" I have
in the basement that tastes AWFUL.  I had some weirdness going on with regards
to the yeast in this batch, nothing worked like it "normally" does.  It
actually tastes like it might mellow & be drinkable in a year or so.  We'd
just really been hoping to drink it before then!  (This recipe is usually
ready to drink a couple months after bottling.)
