Apple wine
It seemed to come out pretty good - my father had this AWESOME idea, I guess they used to put balloons over the tops of the bottles! How clever is that? No air getting in, no chasing corks all over creation and scrambling to get 'im back in afore the air sours things - it doesn't look classy, but its working out pretty good. He was thinking I would have had a problem 'cause I didn't add yeast, but the balloons are filling up, so it must be fermenting - I had to have been successful in attacting wild yeast. I ended up with a decent amount. I guess it'll be a Merry Christmas as there should be enough wine for a nice party.
I think I might try lemons next - actually lemons are kinda dear, maybe i should consider orange or grapefruit. The book was talking about an orange wine (that took a year or so before it was ready to drink) but the author was saying she used to get the oldest, mouldiest oranges she could find - her green-groccer would just give them to her. The worse-for-wear the orange the better the wine, apparently. I don't have enough tea or dandelions yet for either of those wines. I think one of those will be the third batch.
