yes sir!
5 gallons of Blackberry wine- shooting for a sweeter, desert type wine... more of a port.

That's cool I have been thinking about trying a white since I found out that the seedless grapes I planted three years ago are seeded

What was your resource in learning about it?

I got the recipe for the blackberry wine from a good friend who was somewhat of a Arkansas "hillbilly". He had a heart attack and died back in '03... had told myself I would start making his "sippin' wine" at some point. I came across an old glass 5 gallon car boy a couple of weeks ago and decided it was time.
I have found alot of info by just google-ing "homemade blackberry wine", and there is a home brew wine/beer shop nearby that answered questions and supplied me the last few items I needed to get rolling.
So far so good, seems patience is going to be the hardest part.

6 months into the first batch and time to pull out of "bulk" aging and bottle off.

Has turned out very tasty, semi-sweet to sweet. Now if I can leave it alone for a few months...

Sweet! My boyfriend makes hard apple cider. He has made some with peach, raspberry, and strawberry so far.

My dad use to make his own beer (even grew his own hops). I always find the process fun to watch :)

hey man congrats on the batch of wine.... I have toyed with the idea of getting one of those kits.... I just worried that I wouldnt be able to find a recipe that we would like... plus I would have to buy juice somewhere, no fruit grows around here

id say run it through a LM head.... yep,, thats what id do;):cool:.
