I make beer and wine in the summer and fall. I like a Cabernet Savignon most times, and my beer is ok but I'm still working on getting it better.
I have made everything l could possible imagin. Problem is I have expensive taste and its not easy to make the stuff i enjoy.
Lots of summers I spend a week or two brewing and bottle in the fall and winter.
Man, 303 showed us he was educated, now he is showing us he is a conosieur of women and fine wine
Making some damn good mead regularly. Got a couple dozen bottle of strawberry and lemon... now I need to put one in the fridge !
Tous les jours nous nous endormons plus instruits mais pas forcément moins betes...
Working on a coopers lager right now, planning on making mead soon with some Italian honey. Really useful hobby for SHTF and with all the taxes/monopolies on alcohol there is a lot of money to be saved.

I used to do 'homebrews' so to speak, at a couple of brew-on-premises shops many years ago in the T.O. area, then lived in Montreal for a few years, where that kind of business wasn't allowed, so I was forced to get all the kit myself and brewed in my apartment there. I always preferred amber and darker ales, and eventually got into chocolate and crystal malts, weaning myself away from syrups and going towards real all-grain recipes. My buddies always drank my experiments quite eagerly and always had glowing compliments so I must have been doing something right. My chestnut brown ale was a favourite. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, when I moved back here, my brew gear went into the back of the garage in storage and hasn't seen the light of day since. Right now, I have a great little local brewpub very close by, and they make really great stuff, but maybe I'll get the bug again some day.
Funny you mention mead, because I had started getting books and reading up on that, as my next project, just before I moved back and put my gear away. 😁
I love making a good red myself. I have found the Fastferment system to produce excellent quality with so much less equipment and space. For those on a budget, Costco sells a few decent kits for about $50 a batch. Keeps me in good spirits
