I have made a few other fermented beverages in the past and a few distilled. Working on a park full of prickly pear I picked a bag of fruit on day. Brought it home let it set in the cooler to age a little and filled cooler with water brush off the hairs smashed in hand to the fermentation bucket! I did two 5 gal bucket added suger and a few other wine making ingredients and let it set for 24 hr. Well 24 became 48! I added the yeast to the mix and let it set for a week were I mixed it a few times then took out all the fruit now and it's just 5 gallons this thick almost slim beautiful pink and purple liquid. It stains! The juice is now on second fermentation bucket and so far from what I read it will be there for a few months. Anyone made this type of wine? Or had it? I hate wine but enjoy knowing know to make things by hand! I have also been looking at brewing my own root beer like to do a sugar free or use natural ingredients.
