Summer wines brewing now

Mead is very simple to make and can be made successfully in as small as 1 gallon batches. The yeast can be reused and your must boil can be done on the stove top. If you have three square feet of free counter space you have enough room for three single gal jugs.

It's a great starter wine but it sounds like you are already on your way.

Are whinberries what we in the US call huckleberries? Sort of like blueberries, but smaller, with a more concentrated flavor and grows wild?

From what I could find in a quick search and a talk with a friend and lanscaper, they are very close cousins. Closer to each other than to domestic blueberries. Recipes should be almost identical.

Mead? Not quite wine, but many states call it wine. I have 26 five gallon kegs of home made saved up right now. It's better that wine. Only have a couple of home made wines. Too many good commercial brands to bother making my own. But mead is hard to find good. White Winter is my favorite commercial brand. Redstone is second. ;-)

Drinking ice cold real ginger beer and watching the apples swell and ripen, thinking how on earth am I going to process so many apples if they all get to the normal size.

Apple Jack, Pleater. Unless your freezer is full of kilts.
