October 5th, 2012 by Nate In an attempt to use up the rest of our plums, and protect against not having any plums next year like we had last year, I am making another 5 gallon batch of plum alcohol. This will be a melomel, and I think the plum and honey flavors will mix well together.

September 26th, 2012 by Nate This year we got plums on our trees, unlike last year where we only got a handful. I have been waiting for plums to make a new batch of my Plum Wine, one of my favorites. I am going to try and make the same recipe I did the first year I made it, which turned out the best (more plum flavor than the last batch which used the steam juicer).

Time for another batch of raspberry wine. We have been picking raspberries and storing them in the freezer, and I’m finally getting around to making wine today. I am going to try and make the same recipe I did for my very first batch of raspberry wine, which turned out great. I will simply be scaling it up to 5 gallons.

While I do not have a recipe for this, I thought it was interesting. Apparently, Obama is the first president to have brewing going on at the White House. The beers they make are often served to guests, like Medal of Honor Recipient, Dakota Meyer (right).
Thank you, President Obama, for taking home-brewing to the White House and representing the 700,000 or so of us that are making our own brews. It would be pretty cool to see what recipes they use, but I suppose that is probably a state secret.
For the Wikipedia article click here.

They’ve decided to release the receipt after all. Might have to try this.
