More wining.

Brandy is a distilled product. Anyone can make up to two hundred gallons of wine, no permit required.  You can't make a drop of distilled spirits or you're moonshining!

There's lots of moonshiners out in the countryside.
The wine looks really good!

Thank you. I've had  'shine when I lived in West-by-God-Virginia. Didn't drink it, I was twelve years sober at the time. Just let a few drops wet my lips and tongue without swallowing it. A unique beverage. I think the batch I tasted came from a fifty pound bag of Purina Goat Chow.

There's a logging town way north of me where a lot of tar heels moved to years ago to work the forests. They have a world class Bluegrass festival there every year. I met a revenue man that  busted a still operation up there and claims it was the best whiskey he had ever tasted.

The UPS guy was here almost every day this week. I got bottles, corks, a, corker, and pectic enzyme for my next batch, more on that in a minute. Mistakes were made, checking my notes I realized that I did nothing to set the color in the pomegranate/raisin wine, so most of the red disappeared leaving it more or less the golden color of a raisin wine.

The mango wine was made without pectic enzyme, and came out with a haze, or cloudy appearance. At my house the wine goes in the food, not in a glass, so the appearance is not an issue. It wouldn't make a good gift bottle, though. Anyway, they're bottled up in 750ml bottles, here's one of each for your viewing pleasure!

They look beautiful Devlyn!

Thanks, one of my mistakes is visible in the pomegranate, a cork crumb from the previous bottle. Always wipe out the inside of the corker before each bottle! Also note the Braille on the mango.
