Bloody hell Elbongster, you don't believe in small batches as a trial do you

I mean, that's more than I make in a year, so for 4 months that's a fast bit of work there matey

Hope it all works out for you though, and if it does then you're gonna have to be "a fast drinker"

Oh and welcome.

Hi, Elbongster, welcome to the mad house.

That's an impressive list you've got there, you have obviously caught the bug big-time.

I'm intrigued by the celery wine, you must tell us how it turns out.

Mind, when Bob (Lockwood 1956) sees that, he's going to have a blue fit!


Tee hee

[rjb222]

Welcome to a great hobby Elbongster. Since I started life has been much better (a bit of a blur but much better I think) at least what I can remember.

[Elbongster]

still laughing

rjb 222 lmfaothanks every one for the warm welcome, can i fill in further why so much so fast.
i advertised for wine making equipment on freecycle,to my amazement i recieved over 60 demijohns with stoppers airlocks fermentation buckets heated plate all the chemicals i need, syphon filter,papers yeasts,bottles corks caps and even pressurised barrels all in good order.

there was two people due to age giving up the brewing game after many many years,one old woman has a damson orchard and has given me permission to pick the crop from now on

as you can imagine i have very little restrictions on what i can make demijohn wise ,and i am right in the middle of the countryside and i am a ok at forageing.plus i feel that these people who have been so generous i am obliged to keep them in constant use.

As for the amount of wine, my thinking was if i make a certain amount every year after 2-3 yrs when they have matured correctly i will know what i want to make again or not.

whats gonna nark bob about celery wine

just set of two gall of choc wine to night has anyone here made it before /how long did it last once your misses found out about it/how long did it mature.
i got a good crop of sloes this year and the wife made sloe gin/brandy/rum.she had some left and put them in a bottle with white wine i checked it
two days ago and it has started a secondary fermentation, so to start xmas day we will be having sloe sparkling wine for starters(if it tastes ok).

a happy accident i assure you

whats gonna nark bob about celery wine

Well, I don't know for sure but I think he's going to view it in the same way he does parsnip wine.

[rjb222]

Must be careful with parsnip use could lead to the spanking room to get a spanking with a parsnip.

[goldseal]

Welcome, Elbongster.

That's certainly an impressive start

I'm also worried what Bob might say about the Beetroot

Oh Lawks! I was so worried about the celery I overlooked the beetroot.


Lordy, Lordy!

Tee hee hee... I'd pay good money to see someone spanked with a beetroot...
