A winemaker yet ?!?

I racked my first batch of wine the other day. TO be more precise, it was mead, which is wine made from honey. Oh, racking means taking it from one fermentation vessel to the next.
I surely hope that it mellows as I let it age. I tasted it, which only told me that I had made alcohol... and cleared my sinuses. It has a nice amber color and hopefully it will clear to about the color of apple juice with the same transparency. It should be good to drink by my birthday in August. Which will be cool to get silly drunk off wine I made on my 30th birthday. Oh, did I mention it is something like 15% abv? Sweet, or will be if it mellows properly.

I think I will try to make some beer. Not only does it finish quicker but I have more of a fan base for that. That and I can do a couple batches in the time it takes to do a single wine batch.

Still, with spring approaching, I will try some fruit wines. Strawberry, Watermelon, and blackberry I have heard were good as well as peach. We will see around Thanksgiving. I have 3 carboys (6 gallon water cooler style bottles) so I can have 4 batches going at once... and I can buy more bottles.

I bet pomegranate wine would be good.
