Wine making

As I mentioned before Frej and I are makng wine from the apples we picked. It’s pretty easy to make wine, we’ve made a beet wine before. (Which was terrible, by the way, but that was because we didn’t let it brew long enough because we wanted to bring it to the Roskilde festival) But my friends have made really good wine before, from juice or from fruit. Also it is of course way cheaper than to buy in stores, you can make up your own recipes and use things you find in nature so that nothing has to be transported from the other side of the world. In Sweden you can make as much wine as you want for yourself, as long as you don’t sell it. I don’t know what the laws are on that abroad.

Rowan berries and apples, We’re using a recipe that called for 14 kgs of apples and 1 kg of rowan berries + 6 kg of sugar I think.
