Oh, wow, look at the colours. . . .

I've been burbling stupidly at enough people about the colour of the rose wine that I might as well just show 'em, y'know?

In any case, that's a one-gallon jug of wine made from the rosebushes outside, the red one, and the five-gallon carboy is full of cyser (apple mead) that's slowly starting to clear, not that you can tell from the photo; the top about handspan of it is notably less . . . colloidal . . . than the rest of it. I'll probably rack it sometime.

But see? The rose wine is a pretty colour, damnit!

It's just the rose petal wine recipe out of Berry's winemaking book. I haven't tried a rhodomel at this point; maybe next year, as my rosebushes are past peak, particularly the one with the well-scented flowers.
