Brewing update
Racked everything that was sitting in the kitchen (beer, mead, cider, cherry wine). We didn't bottle any of it yet, but most of it is ready (the beer and wine can wait a while longer).
Opted to not start a second beer before Pennsic - while I could get it started, I would be hard pressed to get it bottled, and it probably wouldn't be ready for Pennsic. Plus Gavan says we're in good shape for the parties. (But oh is it tempting to try and squeeze in the hefeweizen to have at camp). I may start something a few days before we leave so I can just leave it in primary until we get home and then rack it.
I should start some more meads in September - need to use up the old honey. I don't think I'll do any cider or wine this fall (got plenty), nor do I think I'll do any more cordials (not really my thing). I really want to pick up some buckwheat honey and start another batch of buckwheat mead soon (knowing that it won't be finished for about 2 years...)
