Finishing Touches to Peach and Honey Wine 2012
I have received a lot of help the last 3 days in preparing the Peaches and Honey wine for next year. Here, John Germany gives me a hand mixing and sweetening the 2 batches of wine that I have prepared for next year. With only 6 cases left for this year we have increased the amount that we made for next year. Using fresh peaches and honey from Lancaster County definitely causes a lot of work and adds a lot of labor but the final product is one of the best peach mead's in the area. Last year we started pitting all the peaches and with Mrs. Sensenig getting me 25 bushels this year that was a huge task. Thanks to Carl Baeshore we finished the first 20 bushels last night and Greg Etnoyer helped me to prep and mix the ingredients. Today Chris and John helped me to finish pitting the peaches, we measured the specific gravity and added the yeast to complete the huge batch of fresh Peach and Honey wine. Now, like all fine wines, all we need is time to help us all improve. Thanks everyone. Your help was really appreciated. I'm confident that with the quality of the ingredients this year's wine will be the best ever.
