Introduce Yourselves here

hi, mrdexter, sorry for your loss. Welcome to WAH. I've learned alot here and I know you will too. Have fun picking those apples.

Hello one and all, I've been lurking on here the last couple of days and decided to register to join in.

I was first introduced to home brewing about 20 odd years ago by my Dad. My earliest memory is the County Classic kits. He did a lot of beer and a few country wines, then he got ill and stopped doing it, so I tried to keep it going to try and respark his interest.

I had some success with blackberry, limited success with orange, and a disaster with banana. Thankfully Dad soon got back into it.

He passed away a year and a half ago, and left lots of stuff in various states of progress, so of course I finished them all off.

Last month I did my first ferment on my own for over 10 years, a Beaverdale Shiraz kit.

I'm hoping to get more into it again, and am a bit gutted that due to other commitments I missed the blackberries this year, but am looking forward to a full day apple picking tomorrow.

Hi Folks

Just found your Web site on the Net, and joined. I have been making a few gallons of wine most years for about the last 20 or so. I have a ready source of Elderberries and picked about 9 1/2 lb in 20 min recently. Looking forward to spending a 'few' hours trawling this site. Always on the look out for Grapes, if any members on this site sell them. I would be interested. I also have a question with respect to the Meju Maija Steam Juice extractor, not sure which section to post my question, can you advise please

Regards - TonyE

Welcome aboard Tony

Sausages and bacon eh? Now you're talking my language!

Hi All

Lots of other hobbies, including Sausage and bacon making, these days do a bit of part time work on a farm.

Wine and beer making has just been supplanted as the coolest hobbies I can think of. BACON MAKING!

Welcome aboard! There has been lots of debate about juicers etc. and myself and Silverfox had a long chat about them with reference to elderberries but it was at Grapefest so it didn't make it too the forum. Sounds like you'll have soem valuable input.

Hi Folks

Hi All


Just joined, looking forward to reading the forum, actually I have been making a small quantity of wine most years for about 20 odd years now.

One of my first attemps was Pumpkin, never again it was disgusting, I threw the whole lot away, and started again, whith a Wheat wine. These days Elderberry is probably one of my favourites, this year they were plentiful, I picked a carrier bag with in about 20 minutes, yeilded 9 1/2 lb fruit.

Lots of other hobbies, including Sausage and bacon making, these days do a bit of part time work on a farm.

I do have a question regarding a Mehu Maija Steam Juice extractor, which I own, where would be the best place my query. i.e. Forum section
