Alright, let another wine experiment commence. 4.5 liters of pink grapefruit juice 750 grams of sugar 1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient 1 teaspoon of yeast Plato: 24 which should come out to ~15% alcohol if I let it go completely dry. Honestly if it doesn't tasteโ€ฆ
And here we are. Finished out to 15% but I suspect that they might be using some sort of sweetener inside it due to how it tastes. Still has that grapefruit bitterness at the back end, hopefully I'll be able to rid myself of it.

Filtered. Very fluorescent yellow. Even better than last year ๐Ÿฅฐ

Time to make more firewater. This time it's from genuine Chinese green tea, sadly it oxidized last summer when I made it but on the flip side, it has been aged for nearly a year so if you ignore the cardboard taste (borderline impossible) it's an excellent wine and should yield an even better brandy.

I actually feel a tiny bit bad about making this into a brandy even though I know it's ruined. It turned out really excellent and I am slowly becoming a proponent of aging a wine for a year to get the most out of it.
On a preliminary taste test, this year's metheglin turned out even more fantastic than last year.
Let's crack into it, shall we?

Forgot to take a picture of the batch. Here's all of it minus 4 (2 of them were drunk, 2 of them are in the fridge due to yeast sludge)

I decided to add a spoonful of honey to the metheglin and it elevated it so much. It's even better now, dangerously so even๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Forgot to post this one when it got made.

Dewberry-Raspberry Wine
The local Lidl sold a dewberry water that I mixed with a raspberry tea to make this.
Should finish out to about 11% or so

Damn, this was such a success that I forgot to even document it.
Finished off at 3.8%
A very nice cider for those hot summer days, definitely will be making more of this.

Whilst we're at it, why not a fresh batch of ginger beer as well?
