Demijohn / Must / Produce Pics!

[jamesbsmith]

Hi T Baggins, yesterday I saw your thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/few-pics-various-progressions-441685/ and realised I then started off the same one as you! I logged on this morning to paste your link under mine and see that you have copied across all your pics, so thank you and sorry!

GREAT vid of the strawberry boiling over, really funny!

 

[T_Baggins]

cool beans! Hey np, I just love sharing my pics and seeing everyone else's! I do tend to multi post a "lil" so I get more views...you never who looks at which threads and such. Just glad I haven't pissed anyone off with a few multi posts!

 

[jamesbsmith]

Multi post away! Its always a pleasure to see the same pics more than once, and good to do so if it makes people see them who may have missed out!

Squeezed into a corner of the kitchen pantry. We do what we can with what we have!

I love the quantities you guys brew in! You must be much more confident in your recipes than I am!

My thought process is that it is just as much time and effort to make 1 gallon as it is to make five or six. And, you get to reap more rewards in the end for that effort!

I will confess that I was extremely blessed to get my start in this hobby sitting at the feet of a master with close to 20 years of experience. I can only hope I'm doing justice by his teachings.

Thank you Gratus Fermentatio! I used to bottle in just 500ml green plastic bottles. That was fine for me, but none of my mates are really home brewers. As soon as I then gave them a bottle, they turned their noses up, as they already had a low opinion of home brew. I think presentation is really important. It still doesn't do the contents justice though!

I bottle in 1L swingtops almost exclusively. I'll sometimes bottle 12oz samplers with crown caps, but haven't done so in over a year now.
Regards, GF.

Here are my first two batches. The first is a pic of Edworts apfelwein next to some skeeter pee and the second is a comparison of skeeter pee from start to almost finish. Gotta rack and back sweeten this weekend.

Next up is some dragon blood.

Racked my spiced apple wine and my apple cherry wine last night. Both are good so far but the spiced apple is going to be awesome. Has a very light spiced flavor and is delicious already. I went ahead and floated 2 more cinnimon sticks in the carboy for good measure.

 

[jamesbsmith]

plum wine and plum and sloe wine. Ready for maturing

My berry blast mead started this past weekend:

 

[T_Baggins]

Here are modest beginnings of a fresh batch of Pomegranate/Blueberry!
I used 3@32 oz "Simple Truth" pom juice and 1@32 oz R.D. Knudsen "Just Blue Berry" juice.
2lbs granulated cane sugar inverted in 1 1/2 cups water
1 Lipton family size "cold brew" tea bag (for tannin)
1 tsp nutrient
1/2 tsp energizer
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme

I pitched Montrachet on must, OG 1.110@73F

 

[T_Baggins]

"MY" corner of the kitchen...

 

[T_Baggins]

Fermentation jumped off after less than 12 hrs! Couldn't b'lieve it, esp with Montrachet.

 

[Twerp129]

Tiny ferment going on. First Shiraz of 2014.

I like the way the Forum is set-up. It's very clean & easy to read. I'll definitely be checking in more often as it builds momentum.

Lol nice demijons
