Girlfriend wanted wine so I brought up a spare fermenter from my other house, giving lemon wine a shot. This will be my first proper wine (that I won’t be immediately turning into brandy) Glad to be back at it after the hectic holidays. I want to make an orange brandy next, but after slicing 50 lemons by hand (I don’t own a mandolin) I think I need a short break from slicing citrus.

Yeah, they just cost around $50 rather than the cheap $10 handheld ones. They have legs or a stand and sit on the counter above a cutting board or bowl

Just letting you know I bought one with stands and a chain mail glove. Should be in tomorrow. Appreciate the recommendation!

No worries! Once you're comfortable with a mandolin, making the thinnest of slices is a breeze, so working in the kitchen becomes even more fun. :)

I’m looking forward to trying it out! Already bought the 16 pounds of mandarins to do the test run for my next batch!
