The spices seem like a nice compliment to one another: Cloves, nutmeg, ginger, thyme, peppermint, cinnamon, lemon balm, rosemary, bog myrtle, yarrow, elder flower, fennel. I want to try one with more spice to it, but that means making another batch! :) I read a recipe for a Metheglin that Charlie P tasted after 60 some years.

I added 3g of Chamomile and two Chai chocolate caramel tea bags. I think this is going to be it for spicing though.

Its not a diet wine - weighs in at 423 calories for 12 oz! Tested it and it is actually 16.40% ABV with a gravity of 1.008!

I do admit that its a pretty good sulfur creator! Apples fermenting always have that aroma! Its a little too cold in the basement so I put this in the office off of the living room, hence my dilemma. Its been going for 5 days, and has slowed down slightly, but its still going strong. This batch will probably take two weeks to finish up. Cant wait to drink some of this!
