So who else out there is starting wines/meads now for Christmas 09? Or at least thinking about what they make so they can plan ahead. Of course, since my wines and meads need more aging time than my beers, decided I better start working on this now.
Current plans are:
Spiced holiday mead (will find the recipe later today) that I started last night. clover with coffee, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and raisins. Cloves at first racking.
Cranberry wine from juice. Made this one before, it's a bone dry wine, and everyone loved it. Just found my old recipe this weekend while cleaning the house, so will start that once the mead moves to carboy (currently only have one fermenter).
Anyone else planning anything special for the holidays?
