[size 2]I always make 6 gals. of wine every November and decided to add 2 gals. of honey wine to the yearly mix. This was different as I had to boil the must first. I keep them both near the pellet stove to maintain 72 degree temps for fermintation. After two weeks I can rack them again then let sit for 6 months before I bottle. Added a little more suger to the mixes to put alittle punch to them.

Sounds like a fun way to spend the slow season, at least you get a reward when your finished[Wink]. Have you tried making beer[Smile]?

I did try making some wheat ale a few years back, but it costs me about the same to buy it. Sam Adams is better at it than I am.
