Hobbies

Currently my only hobby is wine making, I feel I am not quite well versed enough to know what will always be a great bottle but I'm not afraid of making experiments if the succeed or fall flat to my expectations! I've been in the hobby for year and have made several brews with each recipe written down in meticulous detail. While I am a home brewer I make sure to follow all the standards of beverage safety and sanitization that I am currently knowledgeable on, from sanitizing my equipment to using Sodium Metabisulfite to ensure any unwated bacteria is dealt with before brewing and bottling.
