Bulk update. Time marches on, and already the beginning of the week fades into the mist:
* Mother and sister came to town. We went to Block Island and rented mopeds to scoot around. It was awesome. After that, we went to the Pumpkin Spectacular. This morning there were waffles with cherry conserve, and a walk down to the bike path where we all watched a flock of cormorants fishing together.
* Last night after dinner, we tried the Carrot Wine (Fowl Hooch). It was *good*. Sweet and raisin flavored. I’m totally stunned that I made a dessert wine, triply so that I made it out of carrots.
* This afternoon, I dumped out the beer that tried to kill technolope and I, and kegged a batch of the cherry stout. We’ll see how this one goes. It’s “force carbonating” as we speak.
* Racked the two wines as well. The red has cleared considerably, and it’s at about the right level of dryness. The white is still a little too sweet, and is also still hazy with yeast. Neither is vile in any detectable way.
