I have a beet root sherry going slowly but steadily. This time I'm maxing it out in sugar/alcohol, aiming for 18% plus plenty of unfermented sugar. And I'm going to get a little oak cask to let it oxidize slowly through the pores just to see what happens.
And it is soon time to start some Finnish low alcohol Sima.
Great link on Sima! We'll be making about two buckets, 20 litres :)
