Mine did not look like that at all.

It was more of purpleish brown. The lilacs were purple.

The must doesn't smell so bad now. We will see how it looks at the first racking.

If it doesn't work out...there will be plenty of vinegar.

My first thought was Pepto Bismal everytime I looked at it. It has paled some in the last week.



Still the brightest stuff I ever made.

Wow!! What a difference a little time makes. We tasted the Lilac back in August and my wife suggested we throw it out, it was just awful. I decided to put it back and forget about it. I tasted it this morning and it's great!!

I just finished bottling it. Like usual, I wish I had made more than a gallon. This will be on the list again next year.

Crap! I threw mine out cuz it tasted like green plant matter. At least it has that side of the tongue bitter taste.
