And the wine itself is...drinkable! It's not the best tasting wine in the world, and not sure I taste any blackberry in there, but hey, I up and made some wine.
Challenge no. 9 is history. Cheers!

Pretty Sure I Made Wine
The wine is done! I bottled it last night (after waiting for it to ferment for MONTHS when I thought it would take days) and had my first experience with a hand-corker. If anyone needs anything corked, let me know. That thing is super fun.

Wine Making Haul
I recently purchased everything I will need to make blackberry wine (challenge no. 9). I'm waiting until July to go blackberry picking, when they are fully ripe. There are quite a few pick-your-own farms within reasonable driving distance of NYC. After I acquire my berries, it's about a 17-day process. Let's hope my winemaking skills aren't as bad as my art skills.
Great brewing shop in Gowanus.
Equipment: Bucket, glass jug, tubing for siphoning, siphon starter, hand corker, sanitizer, red wine yeast, and airlock.
