Another batch of rhubarb wine is in the mix, since the frozen rhubarb is bulky and taking up space in my freezer. Space I need so that I can freeze raspberries which are coming into season and soon plums as well. I’m making a recipe similar to the one I did last year, but with a little more rhubarb (10.5 pounds instead of 9 pounds for the same 3 gallon volume).

Today I used up some cherries by making a batch of cherry liqueur. I found a good looking recipe here and decided to give it a try. It calls for aging the liqueur for 6 months and for using brandy as the base alcohol, both quite different from the previous liqueurs I have made.
This will be the third liqueur I’ve made (I’ve previously made Blackberry liqueur and Banana liqueur) and the first one I am putting up on the blog. I hadn’t added the previous ones since they aren’t really brewing, mainly just steeping flavorings in alcohol, but I figured it is all in the same vein of home-made alcohol and so I will include these recipes here in the future.

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.
