I'm out and about looking to put together a rye wine recipe. Have you tried this yet? How did it turn out?

Sorry for the late reply. I brewed this as a 1 gallon test batch and it was God awful.

What was awful about it? I have had a couple "rye wine" beers that I really liked.

Hey, I've been off this forum for so long! Mine turned out awesome! If you're still around, let me know, I'll share my experience.
