Primary fermentation complete for first batch of red wine of 2024. Off to a messy start! #agorism #homesteading https://m.primal.net/KiRj.jpg
Love it! Want ti start as well
I've got that same press
Last year was my first year having a press, now every fall I wonder how I lived without it! What do you use the press for?
I have that same crusher. Gonna make cider using it
Hard or regular? Do you have your own trees? I just finished my last batch of cider using our apple waste after freezing and drying. 9 gallons of cidar total.
I do have my own trees! My trees didn’t put out a lot this year so its not going to be a banner year for cider. It’ll definitely be hard though. We’ll start wine in a few weeks, but we buy juice from the juice house so all I’m doing is fermenting
I hope to start wine making again next year. I really enjoyed it. Just have to not drink so much ;-)
Haha, nice! I'm in my fourth year of wine making. I still suck at, but it is a fun fall activity and sometimes I get lucky.
