  @CrushBead damn that is a terrible but accurate description of many government programs.
  
  Last year was the first good harvest of plums, but I have tons of wild birds so I had to share. I got about 4 lbs of mostly pecked and forgotten fruits. Made wine which I gave out for Christmas.

  Man you are lucky. Round parts where I live the Scots settlers brought in gorse to serve as hedgerows to define property lines and corral livestock. Unfortunately gorse took to the environment way too well and ended up becoming an invasive species. So back in the 90s they state government decided to release spidermites to control the gorse. Unfortunately the spidermites took to the environment way to well and they became an invasive species. The spidermites especially like my plum trees so near times when the plums are getting to the point of picking the spidermites swarm the fruit, spin their webs around them, and spoil the fruits in no time.

  @Moon @CrushBead no I only got about a gallon which made 6 small bottles.it was pretty good although I probably should have added a little bit more sugar because it was a little tart by Christmas. I also listened to someone else who said it was "too strong" and added a little water during one of the rerackings that made it too weak imo

  Shit sucks, back when we were kids we used to make plum wine every year. It was the kind of thing that our parents did themselves, so they just looked the other way when kids would sneak off with a bunch of jars from the kitchen and sometimes show up at home on a late summer night a little too giggly. It was the kind of thing older siblings and cousins passed down and was just a kind of generational tradition. It was never enough wine to turn you into a drunk or lead to violence. Just kids getting a little buzzed and having fun in the woods. I honestly wonder how many awkward rural kids lost their virginity sipping plum wine on a humid summer day with a girl they were too nervous to make a move on normally. That kind of thing used to lead to a relationship, and then marriage. There was a sort of unspoken acknowledgement that it was a right of passage and part of growing up. Now that tradition is just dead.

  @Moon @CrushBead I'm planning on it so I'll let you know. I'm also thinking this year I may try and make blackberry wine, and if I can get enough for 5 or 6 gallons maybe making brandy. I probably won't get enough berries on my own property but a local farm has great prices on pick your own.

  Blackberry wine doesn't turn out so good. The trick is to distill a clear grain alcohol, and then fill a jar about 3/4 of the way with blackberries and top off with the alcohol. Stick it in a cool dark place for about four weeks. Once a day take out the jar and turning it for a bout a minute at a time. After four weeks strain through cheese cloth and bottle it.

  Yeah they tend to rot instead of ferment. You could probably make a blackberry wine if you cleaned then thoroughly, mashed them, added sugars and yeast. It just wasn't a thing when I was a kid, because stuff like plum wine you could just make with the fruits, water, and naturally occurring yeasts in the air.

  @CrushBead @Moon maybe if I try I'll do a small batch so if I waste a few pounds it's not the end of the world. I'm excited to see how much fruit I get this year. A lot of stuff is just getting to the 5-10 year mark and starting to really produce. I also have a paw paw tree that I think might be producing this year. If so it will be the first time.

  @CrushBead @Moon making beer is fun too. Honestly I probably have more fun in the process of learning and doing than I do drinking.

  You might want to look into trappist brewing. Trappist monks make a really delicious beers with blackberries and naturally occurring yeasts. While I doubt you have caves that have been used to brew for centuries and are essentially yeast filled pits, the use of malted grains to add sugar to the mash and enhance the available sugars in the wort could be what it takes to kick start the yeasts and give you a drinkable product.

  She should have just let him keep going so he could learn from his mistakes and improve. If you are doing a second fermentation in bottle you need to account for the environment you live in, and not put so dang much yeast in the bottle if you know it is going to be hot enough for them the yeast to produce like that.
