wine

what recipe do you use?

diet coke? I made a zucchini wine that even when mixed still was undrinkable. When someone wanted to try it I made them do it by the kitchen sink haha I wish you luck

Im trying it this year, but its not ready till late summer http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/staghorn.asp

Good beer but I wasn't aware of the nitrogen in cans. I will have to try this test myself

Sap season is half over in Maine so not sure where you are but you should hurry
