I just started a Bochet last night with low temp melter honey.
I have two different tart cherry melomels aging. One started out as a cyser but the apples are gone!
I think I will bottle a peach melomel today
I have a wildplum melomel aging
I have a rocket fuel traditional I call resident evil, that should be great in a couple three more years.
I want to do a lemon ginger ale soon for the summer.
I am going to buy maple syrup for an acerglynn here on the for sale forum soon. Doesn't that sound good?

Nothing right now, but the spring/summer brew is just around the corner.
On the list:
Kiwi Wit
Pale Ale (one that gets me as close as possible to New Glarus Moon Man)
Blood Orange Hefeweizen

Where did you get your blood orange? For my mead I had to order juice from Sicily since I couldn't find it locally.... Had to use Cara Cara for the pulp and zest....

Do any of you beer brews use beersmith? I have had it for a couple of years now. They have a free trial download. Plus its cheap to just purchass. The only thing it doesn't do is actually boil the wort for you

We have Caputo's around here and I've heard they stock blood orange.

I haven't made this one before so I still have to see how hard it will be to get them.

cider (3x 5 gallons of different apples juice blends and may get broken down into smaller batches with fruit and/or honey additions)
cranberry mead that will get its last infusion of frozen berries next weekend.
mead that was supposed to get a dose of prickly pear syrup but I keep not ordering it. Might just leave it straight at this point.

recently bottled another straight mead, honey/agave blend mead and a multi-berry melomel.

Right now, I'm trying to decide what to get started this year.
