Girlfriend wanted wine so I brought up a spare fermenter from my other house, giving lemon wine a shot. This will be my first proper wine (that I won’t be immediately turning into brandy) Glad to be back at it after the hectic holidays. I want to make an orange brandy next, but after slicing 50 lemons by hand (I don’t own a mandolin) I think I need a short break from slicing citrus.

    Not a drinker, but I am pretty curious how a lemon wine would actually taste. I’m imagining it could be better than a hard lemonade but alcohol never tastes the way I imagine it will (one of many reasons why I don’t really drink lol).

      We shall find out! I had to deviate from my plan (had too much water) and had to boil it (for my distillations I never boil my fruit) so we’ll see how it goes!

      If you’re drinking alcohol for the taste, you’re doing it wrong IMO

        Hard disagree, tropical cocktails are where it’s at (I say, as a primarily bourbon drinker)
