Bottled honey wine today. 25 750ml bottles, and 2 1.5 liter bottles.

Grapes from the 100 year old vine. Honey from the bees. 5 gallons from the grapes and 5.5 lbs of honey plus water to top it up and another 1.7 lbs of honey to back sweeten it.

It tastes pretty good actually, not dry and not sweet.

More details in the ALT.

Whew! that was an experience I'd like to not repeat.

Sitting on the couch jamming to Trampsta, when he let drop one of *those* bass beats, where you feel like the entire universe is throbbing along with him, and B0000M! goes a mead bottle!

That fucker exploded and blew most of 750ml of mead into a fine peach mist that still hasn't settled out of the air, and glass all over that quarter of the house (open plan kitchen/living room). I think I still haven't seen the EZ-Cap bottle top.

There were four other bottles from the same vintage that I quickly opened, and each yielded the now expected fountain of peach mead. I managed to save enough from those bottles to make up another bottle and a half.

The peaches had been bought fresh at the farmers market this spring, were absolutely glorious, and when we ate some the missus insisted we go back and get more so I could use them in a batch of mead.

I really don't understand how this happened, that mead had been let to sit in the fermenter for a week without making bubble one, after which I stirred air into it vigorously and allowed it to sit another week without it budging.

I've burped those bottles twice since I bottled, and they just burped - there was no indication of a pending rupture.

somebody in the past day or 2 either posted or boosted with this link about chocolate and I opened it in a new tab and just got around to reading it. If it was you or you know who it was, please comment and I'll boost their post. But I just wanted to say that it reminded me of a "Cherry Chocolate Sweet Mead" recipe from Jack Keller that I made once that was one of the best wines I ever made.

In his recipe, he mentioned to rack the wine several times and then after bottling let it age about 12 months. I think it was about 2 years total from starting the process until recommended drinking time. I made a 1 gallon batch which is about 5 bottles of wine. I tried 4 of them at different times before the required aging time. Every one was bitter and terrible. Then the 5th bottle was opened about a month after the 2 year mark. It was so sweet and great that I felt so stupid for not listening about waiting.

Anyway, here's the link I mentioned: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/chocolate-flavor-microbes-ferment-cocoa

and as for Jack Keller's recipes for mead, they are somewhere out there in winemaking forums. Unfortunately Jack passed away in 2020 and his website is no longer active. Some people were able to find and backup some of his recipes. If you're interested in winemaking/mead and experimenting with different things, then I recommend looking him up and trying out some of them. His site was definitely a go-to for me when I was heavy into it back around 2006-2011. I probably made 8-10 of his recipes and most turned out really well.


here is a pdf with many of his recipes: https://swguildpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Jack-Keller-Complete-Requested-Recipes-Collection.pdf

What makes chocolate taste so good? It’s the microbes

Beans matter, but microbes may be the real secret to fine chocolate flavor. Scientists are building starter cultures that may improve quality.

I racked the wine again yesterday which was day 61, it hasn't cleared up any with time and probably hasn't been fermenting much for a couple of weeks but had enough bubble to make starsan bubbles in the airlock. I added sorbate, degassed it, and today I back sweetened it with 766 grams of pasteurized honey in water that made about a liter total and filled the carboy up to the neck. Added chitosan and maybe it will clear up. Tastes like wine.

Whole-cluster fermentation isn't new in winemaking, but the way it is used is changing. https://tinyurl.com/4y37upwt via @WineSearcher

Free Software Friday. Seldom do we connect wine-making or labs with open-source. Yet, Bika LIMS allows wine makers and distributors to manage their quality control systems with open-source software.
As an Angel investor in multiple wineries and distributors, I was delighted to have discovered this gem during due diligence at one of my investments.
