  0 0 oh, and all you'll need to start will be a carboy (big glass jug) or even the glass gallon jar the apple juice often comes in, the juice or honey, yeast (there are specific cider and mead yeasts in the coolers at the cellar, or use a wine yeast - they can recommend one), an airlock and a bottle capper w/caps. and those bottles you've saved!

  What is the best way to go about making wine at home?

  1 0 ok, so I agree that wine might be a hard start, but for some advice you might actually be able to use: the CEllar Homebrew at 14320 Greenwood Avenue North (206) 365-7660 has always been delightful when shoppin' for supplies. I would recommend trying out cider or mead brewing. It's really simple - just a few ingredients and you can get great results with some organic unfiltered apple juice or fancy honey from any PCC/Whole Foods kind of joint. Farmer's markets, too.You can get drinkable results with apple juice concentrate, even. It will give you an alcohol closer to wine than beer, and you can really experiment with getting carbonation or not, sweetness, and added flavorings. start saving your non-twist beer bottles now, and you're a step ahead.

  Which is the most awesome San Juan island?

  0 0 though the nuns no longer run the ferry terminal, shaw is my fave. it's served by the ferries, but there's noting there. shaw island only has one place to stay - a campsite a mile from the ferry terminal, and the general store is the only store. it's rad and quiet. you can ditch your car at the lot in anacortes and walk right on the boat, and right to your campsite, no waiting!

  Where can I find a beer tasting class in or near Seattle?

  2 0 http://beerandbeyond.blogspot.com/ My friend Tim teaches a class at local Community Colleges, and he's a really nice, non-smarmy guy. looks like the spring quarter classes may have passed, but if you email him for info, I'm sure he'd be happy to let you know what's up. That's his beer blog up there. Erin West answered in Food & Drink over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  Good place for homebrew supplies?

  0 0 I third the Cellar. Nice peeps, biggest and most fullest store in the area. Bob's is ok, but it feels weirdly sterile and the market store has a smaller selection, but would be good for basics. Erin West answered in Food & Drink over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
