I could probably do that. It'll be a week or two till I start another batch.

And you're right dandelion wine is really good. So is dandelion whiskey.

Same way you make dandelion wine. Then distill it through a pot still without the thump keg on it.

Then put charred oak cubes in the jar and let it sit. The longer you let it sit. The better it is. You can age it ultrasonicly or by the heat freeze method if you want. It works about the same magic.

I guess it would technically be a brandy or grappa. But yeah.

Lol. The last batch ended up a little more dry than usual. Good but dry. Maybe because of the acidic nature of kiwi.

I've been thinking about surprising DH with a wine-making kit. What do you recommend?
