CW, if you want, I could probably get you some seeds from some nice wild elderberries, this summer...or possibly a couple of small starts. Mine are pretty tasty and prolific.
As to sloe...Oikos TreeCrops.com has them.

Cool website MJC, but I didn't find the sloe berries. I'll have to look better later. This is a great example of one of those "Resource" sites that we need a link folder for.

I have all the equipment now for making wine. I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit because our home tends to be cool in winter, despite heating with oil furnace, wood stove and baseboard heating. I picked a lot of wild highbush cranberry. They are in the freezer patiently waiting. All I need now is a corker and a fruit mesh bag.  |

I can probably dig a few starts sometime between now and March. Seed will be July or so...once I start processing them.

Hey ceara, glad to see somebody else getting into the art.
This weekend I'm going to make another five gallons of blackberry.
At some point I'm going to try a Cranberry/Pomegranite mix just for fun.

Thanks for the link MJC! I never imagined a type of plum. What a beautiful fruit!
I'm thinking of trying a ginger meade. I want to work the medicinal angle. With ginger being so expensive and I don't have a clear view of how it will grow here, I would like to have the flavor in a medium I could use both culinarily and medicinally.

i had planned on it, even got all the stuff from Jim to do so. Guy I was going to make it with kind of "forgot" about it so I decided to spend my money on seed starting instead. Hoping to have a bunch of seeds to trade with this year instead.

Among my Christmas gifts was a bottle of Chili wine from my husband,he says he got it from a friend who had visited Australia last summer. Well it was very unique, kind of like a mellow table wine at first ,amber in colour ,with quite a kick to it after you swallow it,like downing a shot of spicy whisky,if theres such a thing.Looked for the recipe,nothing.... any one made it or knows of a listed recipe any where.

Here is a Jalepeno pepper wine recipe www.defalcos.com/wine-recipes/jalapeno_wine.htmWhen doing web searching, and you are using a phrase, put the whole phrase in quotation marks so the search engine looks for those words together. I did a search for "pepper wine" instead of chili, and did not use the word recipe in the search. Hope that helps. |

Wonderful ,that's just what I was looking Ceara .I'm not that computer savvy and I was doing just what you said, looking for chili wine recipes rather than broadening the phrase when I came up with no results I just passed it off and went on and forgt all about it,got to be the age!

I suggest that you find a local brewery supply shop, they will have more answers than me. here is the one that I go to www.oakbarrel.com |
