ups and downs

well, the ginger beer experiment went well and i'm now onto my 4th demijohn of it. I'm getting closer to a recipe i like!

My ribena wine experiment didn't work, after a long fermentation period, the brew seemed to have a higher gravity than when i started, so i binned it. In hindsight i probably should have stuck with it, so see what happened!

I've realised just now that i've missed a trick in not brewing a beer for drinking during the world cup. What a fool! I also just have realised i should have spent the winter upping my lager stocks,while the weather was cooler. what a fool i am!

We're eager to get on with some elderflower champagne, when our weather gives us some sunshine we'll get on it!
