		<description><![CDATA[It has been awhile since I've updated the blog with my winemaking activities. The reason for that is simple: During the warmer months, I can be found more often on lakes and rivers with a <a href="http://about-flyfishing.com" target="new">fly fishing</a> rod in hand, than in the winemaking room. I know many winemakers that start their wines in the summer and autumn when the fruit is being harvested. This means they are taking advantage of whatever local produce is available to them for their wine. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently wrote about the homemade maple syrup wine that I started on May 5, 2009. On May 14th, I racked it to a carboy with the specific gravity at 1.016. Since then, it has begun to clear nicely and the colour is very interesting. It&#8217;s a very autumn or fall looking colour &#8211; the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a few things about making my own wine I don't like:  Cleaning and sanitizing bottles, trying to figure out where I'm going to store carboys not in use along with wines I've just bottled, and being disappointed about something.

Today, I'm disappointed. Very very disappointed. Hey, when you're a home winemaker, it can happen. You put a lot of time and effort into trying something - wait two or three years, and with much anticipation - you sniff the aromas and put the liquid to your mouth.  Will it be as good as you hoped?  Was the patience of waiting worth it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We didn't see fireworks, but we got a lot of "home winemaking" accomplished, the "wee man" and I.  Here in Canada, it is the "May 2-4" long weekend where the Monday before or on the 24th of May is a holiday to celebrate the Queen's birthday.  It's not really Queen Elizabeth II's birthday, but rather Queen Victoria's day of birth.  Traditionally, the holiday is celebrated with fireworks in the evening, and in the past, the Town has had a fireworks display about ten minute drive.  Tonight, we drove up there but there was nothing. Many were confused about this year's May 2-4 long weekend because it came so early. Some were thinking that it was next week that the holiday weekend landed on]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I have an interesting observation about mead and yeast selection that goes beyond taste.  In January of 2007, I started two different batches of mead, using the same recipe. Same amount of honey (the honey came from the same 20 lb. pail too) and same water.  The only difference was that in one, I used Lalvin EC-1118 yeast while in the other, I used a vial of “Sweet Mead Yeast” (#WLP720), the liquid yeast from White Labs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I managed to obtain one Imperial gallon of maple syrup at a cost of $45.00. That&#8217;s a pretty fair price these days. What I have is dark syrup, which should have more nutrients &#8211; and flavour &#8211; over light syrup. I am trying to decide what to do with it as far as some homemade [...]]]></description>

Tonight, I did some grocery shopping and am positive I put bacon into the shopping cart. When I got home, there was no sign of any bacon. [...]]]></description>
