Girlfriend wanted wine so I brought up a spare fermenter from my other house, giving lemon wine a shot. This will be my first proper wine (that I won’t be immediately turning into brandy) Glad to be back at it after the hectic holidays. I want to make an orange brandy next, but after slicing 50 lemons by hand (I don’t own a mandolin) I think I need a short break from slicing citrus.

Nice! Appreciate the tip! I’ll definitely keep it in mind depending on how this wine turns out and how the eventual orange brandy goes. most of my brandies I use much easier fruit to work with, but I love the idea of citrus brandies so $100 seems like a fair investment
