The Dragon's blood is bottled now.  I really like the way it came out.  I found it does need some back sweetening due to the sour taste the berries can have.  Now (speaking of sour berries) I am thinking of trying a test batch of  a cranberry mead. 

I decided to seal the Dragon's blood with wax.  I like the way it looks and its less plastic.  We don't need more plastic in our environment so I'm not interested in buying plastic sleeves to seal my bottles. 


I did this once before and ran into a similar problem, the wax just drips way down the bottle.  I'm using wax beads like this

to seal the bottles. 
I found this video and he has a better technique than I do.  I'm going to test one out this way and see how it works:
