While the hard cider has been carbonating, we finalized the name and created labels … Winter Blues Hard Cider!

Not apple though, it’s … Bumbleberry!!

Then it was time to prime and bottle the beer …

As with the hard cider, we used 22 oz glass bottles… and filled 33 of them! That’s the equivalent of 60 x 12 oz bottles of cerveza!!

Then it was into a warm, dark place to carbonate! Here it sits with the hard cider …

On to another batch of wine! We are repeating the Pinot Grigio kit, and in mid- to late May we’ll have a taste comparison (brand new to ~ 9 months old).

The cerveza gets a name! Corriendo La Tuza Cerveza!! And it gets a label!


So, what’s the story behind the name? Well, we have these little ground dwelling critters that like to run around on the snow once it warms up a bit. The dogs like to catch them too, but that’s a story for another day!
