Thank God we get a day's reprieve from the heat! I water bath can some kraut, marvel at my wondrous garden, what happened to Miss Dovie? An interesting lunch. A happy father on Father's Day!

Today I make a 3 gallon batch of apple wine out of apple juice! Recipe for 1 gallon is below. I used one full packet of champagne yeast, but keep in mind that you can use one packet to ferment 5 gallons of wine! I also gather some materials from Mr. Lucas property, and have a nice chat with the old guy!

Apple Wine

Per gallon

3 qrts apple juice
1 to 1 1/2 lb brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 Tbsp. Lemon juice
1 pkt. Champagne Yeast

With filming me doing things silently I realized that maybe I'm not so silent. I'm a heavy mouth breather and I need to do something about it! Lol!

Today I need to modify the outdoor brooder so the baby chicks can stretch their legs outdoors. I learned they have a phobia, so I fixed it!

I had to look under the tarp! I needed something underneath it.

I recently learned that I need to work up the ground surrounding the Apple trees, that is if I want them to be healthy and grow me lots of fruits! I also take care of my tomato plants which are really growing well! Most of them anyway.

Super late today, but I show a creative way to make a roost out of oatmeal canisters for growing baby chicks. Also, how I get a lot of the things I need is by bartering. So I take you along with what I'm bartering for today!

I haven't made sauerkraut in a really long time, so I got some cabbage, carrots, a sweet onion, and I made some! Recipe below. I've changed it up a little bit from the way that I made it in the beginning. My motto is to keep it simple! But I do love onions and carrots in my kraut!

I also decided to start some wine out of store-bought Apple juice. I found something crazy in my garden.

Ann's Updated Sauerkraut Recipe

2 lbs cabbage
4 tsp. Non iodized salt
Small bag julienne carrots
1 large Vidalia onion
1 large jar (about a gallon)
1 sandwich baggie

Core, shred/chop etc. cabbage. Save one large outer leaf. Chop onion. Throw both in a large bowl, add carrots. Sprinkle 4 tsp. non iodized salt over it all (2 tsp. per pound of cabbage/veggies). Massage for a bit. Let sit until it starts creating brine. Put in jar. Pack down. Add more non chlorinated water if need be. Cover kraut completely with water. Put large cabbage leaf down on top of kraut, and press to submerge. Add more water over top if need be. Place sandwich bag over jar. Fill with water to within an inch of the top of jar. Loosely place lid over top of jar. Let ferment 2 weeks, or as per your taste.

Join me in my journey of, you know, stuff.

I like to talk about all kinds of things, but mostly cooking, fermenting, wine and mead making, gaming (I’m a bad gamer but I have tons of fun), gardening, minimalism/tiny house living, and DIY stuff.

Still trying to figure out why I’m so weird.

And my life just keeps getting tinier.
