hi Scott,

Now that it's all in the past, I can state here that you got MY vote for August RoM

I have a half-batch of the raspberry cognac vinegar brewing .. it's only a few days old but smells and tastes awesome. Think I'm going to make a BIG batch to bottle up for gift-giving IMHO, it will take at least a month to mellow and become "finished".

I didn't have cognac ... too expensive. I used the more "common" VSOP Napolean Brandy.

Like you, I'm not certain that the carb count is accurate. I'm intending to count as 1g per Tbsp. OTOH, this stuff is pretty potent; a little goes a long way .. just like balsamic vinegar.

Regardless; it's a winner to me
