Aged Black Cherry Plum Wine - Black Cherry Hooch a YEAR Later!
We all know time is the best thing for brews. This Black Cherry Hooch is no different. It's the perfect example of aging a wine. When we made it nearly two years ago, it wasn't so great. What did a year do for it? ____________________________________________________

We taste one year old wine and mead to see if there's a difference. We started this test well over a year ago, and the first time around, the mead won hands down for flavor and quality. Well, how much difference does a year make? Aged mead vs aged wine, is one better?
This is not a conclusive or scientific test, just an elderberry wine vs elderberry mead that we made. In this particular scenario we had a preference, but your mileage may vary and different meads and wines may have different results.

How to Search YouTube - Ways to Find Videos and Channels on YouTube. Sooo many people ask us about videos that we thought it might be a good idea to show how we search for things on YouTube. If there's a topic you're interested in, search is your friend. Sure, suggestions and home page videos are great, but, how does it know what you feel like watching today? Say you want a mead video... or not just any mead, a coffee mead. Well, you can search all of YouTube or just check any channel you like to see if they have a video on coffee mead. There's so much going on with YouTube that it's really hard to know what your favorite channels are doing. I mean, who wants to sift through hundreds of videos when you can just search and BAM, you found what you needed.
We know this is a bit off topic for us, but hopefully some will find it useful!

Viking Blood 2020 - NEW RECIPE. 2020 has been... difficult, so at least we have Vikings Blood! This is our newest recipe for cherry mead or cherry melomel, aka Viking Blood. This one departs from a bit of the traditional recipe, but not by a lot really. It's more about the method than anything that's different. It's still cherry mead! Here's hoping third time is a charm. This could be our best Viking Blood yet. Remember, this is cherry melomel, not to be confused with Dansk Mjod's Viking Blod, which is a whole different product.
Ingredients:
3 lbs Frozen Sweet Cherries
3.2 lbs Orange Blossom Honey: https://amzn.to/2IOS98B
1 Cinnamon Stick
Lalvin 71B Yeast: https://amzn.to/3fgNGrr
Water to Fill to desired amount
1/2 teaspoon Yeast Hulls: https://amzn.to/3lV6kry (or Fermaid O: https://amzn.to/3pLssXo )

How to Make Tea Wine. Tea Wine was very popular as a homebrew until grapes became more popular for wine making. The method for tea wine is super easy. Tea Wine requires few ingredients, and very little equipment. The cost to make tea wine is very low as well. Sugar and tea are pretty inexpensive these days.
This is not to be confused with kombucha. Kombucha is very different, and uses a different method and will not have something in the neighborhood of 12% alcohol!
We say this all the time, but... it bears repeating. If you want to make this, go right ahead, and we encourage that. But, at least the first time, do exactly what we did. That way if you encounter issues, we can help. Tea Wine is pretty simple and because of that, changing the sugar, the tea, or the yeast would have a huge impact on your results as opposed to what we got in our tea wine. It's important.
