      A quotation from The Bible

      Wine is very life to humans
         if taken in moderation.
      What is life to one who is without wine?
         It has been created to make people happy.
      Wine drunk at the proper time and in moderation
         is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
         
      [ἔφισον ζωῆς οἶνος ἀνθρώποις,
         ἐὰν πίνῃς αὐτὸν ἐν μέτρῳ αὐτοῦ.
      τίς ζωὴ ἐλασσουμένῳ οἴνῳ;
         καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκτισται εἰς εὐφροσύνην ἀνθρώποις.
      ἀγαλλίαμα καρδίας καὶ εὐφροσύνη ψυχῆς
         οἶνος πινόμενος ἐν καιρῷ αὐτάρκης·]

          A quotation from The Bible

          Don’t abandon old friends,
                because newer ones are not their equals.
             New friends are like new wine;
                when wine ages,
                you will drink it with good cheer.

            Hey uhh

            (hopefully that combination helps the rotten grape fans to move on quickly, I need leet Linux nerds who know about wine and midi passthrough)

            I have a pedal with a win/mac software controller, which uses midi to communicate with the pedal. I would like to attempt to run this under wine; is passing through midi a difficult thing with wine?

            I don't even need the timing to be particularly good, as all the software is doing (for me, anyways) is managing presets, so I can have the correct PC sent for various songs.

                    Have you tried brewing any of these yet?

                    - dandelion wine
                    - ginger bug
                    - spruce beer
                    - birch beer

                    What's the coolest or weirdest stuff you've fermented?
