If its rancid, don't use it. More than just homebrewing, this is advice for life lol!

I've got some in the freezer from 3 months ago that I wouldn't think twice about using, and I plan on it. You can get mold and bugs though so I always make sure to seal it and pop it in the freezer ASAP until I need it. Waste not want not, it can't be too bad.

I'm fixing to make a batch of this in the coming week or two. I need to gather the wine materials as this is my first time outside of beer. Lucky I have an unlimited supply of free wine bottles if it as good as this sounds! My question is, how sweet is this coming out for you folks? I'd like it...
