I learned from my Uncle when I was a Lil. kid, and my freinds and I have always stayed good and drunk off of all sorts of fruits and flowers! My Unc’s favorite was dandelion, he used to stay so intoxicated that he knew my face but couldn’t remember my name most of the time. One of my buddies loves for mr to make a mix of pineapple,star fruit and kiwi, and another loves my mellon rhine. Any fruit will work so your conchord grapes should do just fine. Right now I’ve got a batch of persimon, abatch of red and yellow apples and a batch of pear fermenting. I also decided to do a fast batch of musodine,persimon,and plum hooch(jail house wine) just to have something to drink on while I wait for the others to get done. 7 days will make a batch of hooch, but the wine will take a few months.

Chiot’s run – please tell us how your ginger beer turns out! I tried root beer one time and it was awful.

Gizmo – sweatsocks give it body! Blackberry wine is fine stuff too!

ETW – You’re invited to come on over when it is done and we’ll find out!

Kristin – you can make fine wine out of concord grapes. It won’t be the same as the specific grapes from somewhere in France or wherever, but it will very much be wine and will be very good!

June – I am not making THAT much wine!

Christy O – I can’t wait either! It’s been awhile!

Capri Kel – I get them all the time. Most have been removed as you can see…but now and then another springs up!

Razor FF – Thanks!

I can’t wait to see how it turns out. We made beer once but it wasn’t that good.

COOOOOL. I was going to try making wine with our Concord grapes last year, but I got discouraged when my MiL told me they weren’t the right grapes and I would need some special additives or something. But I’m thinking that maybe I could still make SOMETHING fermented with them, even though it’s not quite like real wine. Maybe more like a liqueur? Whatever, it would probably be better than boring old grape juice.

That is so cool! My dad did homemade beer once and it was gross. Something tells me that your project is going to be much more palatable.

Fascinating! I can’t wait to read more about your adventure. We have TONS of blackberries. YUUUMMM!!! Do you think that maybe the sweatsocks were to kill any potential contaminates??

Wow, that's exciting. I'd love to do that someday as well. I am currently making some ginger beer. Chiot's Run’s last blog post..2009 Tomato List
