I have a blueberry honey wheat in the fermenter now- as soon as it is done I have 10lbs + of fresh blueberries and i am going to try my hand at blueberry wine.

What does everyone else have going right now?

Not really brewing...I have a gallon of "apple pie" ageing in the fridge.
When my scuppernongs get ripe I'll be working off a jug or three of wine.

I bottled a batch of the continental pilsner last week and started a batch of apple wine. I have a rye pale ale kit I might start tomorrow.
That blueberry honey wheat sounds pretty good.

Bottled my blueberry honey wheat last week, and am waiting on it to carbonate.
I now have about 5 gals of blueberry wine in the primary. It's fermenting slowly, which I've read is typical with blueberry wine because of some type of acid blueberries have that acts against the yeast. It tastes so good already though...

My pilsner turned out better than I expected. I dry hopped the pale ale last weekend and my apple wine is starting to clear up. Just keep watching the calender waiting on the next steps.....

Well sir, if you are anywhere in the ATL area, I will be happy to share!

Ain't no way I am drinking 5 gallons of the stuff (although I would love to try).

How did the peach turn out? Was it a dry wine? Did you use fresh peaches or canned? I'm asking because I got 3 gallons in the making and don't know what to expect.

If it is what I am thinking it is, it is moonshine that has been sweetened and infused with apples and pie spices.

Tastes just like a homemade apple pie (with a kick).



As for me, I just brewed up my first all-grain brew. It is a Fat Tire clone that was doctored just a bit to give it more of a nutty/bready flavor.
