Niagra Grape Wine

I recently got about 40 pounds of niagra grapes from a friend of mine.  Yesterday, I went through them to pick out the bad one and get them off the stem.  I did it by hand.  It took four hours!  I had spiders try biting me, earwigs crawling on me, and lady bugs.  I didn't have a fruit press so I ended up using a blender.  So, what was supposed to be crushed grapes turned into a grape puree.  I added some water, bentonite, two camden tablets, and hopefully a little luck.

I have brewed many beers.  I don't have bugs crawling on me when I brew.....  Oh well.  It was an experience.  Hopefully it turns out well and it is worth the effort.

Red Pale Ale

Ok... So my last batch of pale ale is gone already.  So, I decided to make a variation to it.

5 lbs German Pilsner malt
5 lbs Cargill 2 Row Pale Malt
1 lb German Melanoidin Malt
0.5 lb Flaked Corn
1 oz Sterling Pellet
1 oz Liberty

and the yeast is dry Nottingham. 

I wanted a nice red hue to this one.  I am brewing it now and it smells sooooooo good!
