WINE WORKS.
Blackberry season has indeed proved fruitful––pun only mildly intended––and now we have three different batches of blackberry wine in the works. We could probably at least get one more batch out of those bushes, but with four carboys already spoken for, we'll have to find some more containers. I added some beets to one batch––because why not?––and I'm eager to see how that one turns out. Beets are wildly healthy and a famous vegetable in the fermented world, especially in the Ukraine where beet kvass is a bit of a staple. Why not throw some into the wine?The mulberry wine is bottled, the blackberry wines are rolling, the oatmeal beer seems to be maturing nicely, and we haven't even arrived at melon or pear season yet... it's going to be a bubbly summer. And hopefully, if all goes well, a pretty fortified winter!- Jesse.
