I decided to make it into a pomelo tangerine and red grapefruit wine since I didn't have enough raw pomelo to make enough.

It tasted pretty grim at first so I added a bunch more sugar to it to make the amount to 10 liters.
Plato is 23 now.
(I also let it ferment without an airlock for 3 days before hand)

I also let the low wines in the big jug age for 5-6 months beforehand so it has a delightful taste even though it is not done

Tfw you gift a magnum bottle of metheglin (dandelion mead) vinegar to your mom because you didn't know it was oxidized

Here's everything in those two pots with the net tied up so we get as little pulp as possible in the finished product.
It's a new year's Eve miracle! The pumpkin wine finished. Bottled it up at 8%

Happy New Year! May your alcohol be plentiful, high proof and tasty.

The β€œDrunkard’s Lock” is an unusual medieval door mechanism dating to 1380 AD in Regensburg, Germany.

Its primary function was aledgly to assist homeowners in unlocking their doors in complete darkness, a practical solution given the lack of streetlights in medieval times and the fact that drinking wine was often safer than water.

The design reflects practical medieval problem-solving with a touch of humor.

The lock remains preserved on a historic door in Regensburg today.
