They’re tasty. After screwing around with back sweetening the lemon wine it seems the girlfriend prefers the orange wine. So I’ll have some nice lemon brandy in the next few days for myself!

Also shit, just was about to go back to the old comment you made on one of my older posts to give you an update but realized you commented here. Orange wine turned out fantastic! I’ll report back in the next few days on distilling the lemon wine, that ones got a strong flavor of pith on the beck end. Backsweetening it helped but, oddly, the orange wine is the winner without any back sweetening. It tastes very different from any other wine I’ve made, including the watermelon, but it’s quite nice. hopefully my girlfriend doesn’t notice I’ve been “sampling” lots of glasses since I tried it for “taste tests” since I told her one of the citrus wines was just for her lol

I’m a big limoncello fan, I wonder if it will turn out similar

I expect it to turn out very lemony. We’ll see how it goes. Distilling essential oils is the same process but I’m a bit iffy since I had to boil the lemon must for a bit to get it to fit my fermenter. It’s definitely one I want to try my hand at again, after finding something stupid to ferment as a meme again
