How To Make Carrot Wine

Thanks for that info! I will be adding this book to my to read list. I just learned there is a wild winery nearby and I am planning to go there and have some drinks for inspiration :) How exciting that you were able to capture some good wild yeasts! Were you able to save them for future batches?

To be honest, The jar that I saved turned to vinegar. I have a LOT to learn. That said I've got an amazing culture in there for future vinegar.

I can totally relate. That happened to me with my St John's Wort beer last year. I kept experimenting with the yeast and tried to push it to ferment as long as I could without an airlock. Actually it went really far, over a month and then finally gave up and turned into vinegar. Now I have a gallon of St John's wort vinegar and it is quite tasty!

St John's Wort beer sounds so intriguing and I am sure the vinegar is amazing. I am going to have to look into that. We are wanting to learn how to make beer. Its one thing we haven't taken a stab at yet.

In my case brewing herbal beer is the same as wine... herbs, water & sugar, with your yeast of choice. In my case i was calling it beer because i didn't intend to age it and using beer yeast. I was following recipes in Buhner's book of Herbal Beers. If you have st johns wort handy I recommend it, it was tasting amazing even without being aged.

that sounds like a really ideal way to experiment with beers. I don't really like the conventional style of doing things. This sounds much more up my alley.

I'm going to look for that book. Thank you!

You won't be dissapointed ... it's a great book!
