Quick update - the booze edition

Fermenting Apples by Modern Scribe Photography
Of course, when I do have a quick update, it's about booze. Go figure!

My apple mead/cider/cyser was a dud...it grew mold!  I must have opened it too many times, and also should have used a new gallon container instead of just dumping the must into the apple juice container.  Oh, well.  I'll mark that down for a lesson.

But! The good news is that I get to try my beer on Friday.  The Gaelic ale clone will be ready to open, and I am so excited!  I love beer.  I'm already plotting my next batch, which will likely be a porter.

I've been beset by a fit of crafting.  I made three pendulums last night, and am about to list those and a couple of embroidered patches on my Etsy.  I've decided while I'm hawking the honey at PixiesPocket.com, I might as well use the well-established Etsy space I've had since 2005 to move some of my odd craft bits. 

Keep posted, and I'll have a more enjoyable and informative blog post up soon.

Apple products in general are notorious for mold issues; bleached and/or boiled glassware is a must. Still, don't let that deter you from trying again! Cysers are delicious :)

Thank you, Pallas Renatus! And don't you worry, I'm not giving up that easy! :) Booze is my friend, and I love encouraging it's development in my space.
