What's in your glass tonight?

[modofodo]

We have some visitors on the weekend so I will test them and report back!

A glass from the first bottled batch of WN1. I am impressed and have purchased far inferior wines, infact I will do some testing with unsuspecting visitors in the next few weeks. WN1 batch 2 (gooseberry) and 3 (lychee) will be started soon!

Thanks!

I soooo wish I had done that, when I made my earlier batches of Wine#1.....as I "burst" that I had made it, prior to the "taste"
It will be interesting to hear how you get on.

I might have a small sniffter of port to finish, or maybe sloe gin...
Decisions, decisions

The thermostat seems to be about 13-15C out

to achieve 72 Deg I had to set it at 85

it wont achieve a rolling boil with the lid off


but hey!...it was £39 so i will adapt to fit it

After some boiler truamas......

(good job I got that new one fron Lidl)

my Pils is finally on to boil...


only need to boil for 90 mins, cool and pitch yeast, then I can neck the IPA sat waiting for me

Hope it all goes well for you with the lidl boiler. Could you let me know how you get on? Are you using any modifications to the standard boiler as there has been a lot of discussion on JBK about them.

[fatbloke]

brandy and ginger ale (pint glass) which is just excellent, after a hot afternoon sitting watching Harlequins RL Vs Wigan at The Stoop (unsurprisingly, Wigan won), followed by the drive back and F&C's for nose bag.........

Tonight I'm going to try and source some Bredog in the rmeote north of Scotland (more remote than the Brewdog brewery!).

Having a Brewdog fest in honour of my old flatmate who is head brewer there

A bottle of Miller....
My ears feel like they are bleeding, after a busy night at work.
Tis nice to have a quiet 10 mins now

[goldseal]

A wine tasting at a local bar last night so, like Steve, lots of different wines. Nothing I would run out and buy though

[NorthernWiner]

Spent the last week in California drinking a lot of different wines.

Tonight I am drinking beer.

Another Lychee from the same batch as the corked bottle. This one is fine.

Folloowed by a 2008 cabardes. Really good, peppery liquorice sort of thing

[NorthernWiner]

2006 Monte Antico Toscana Sangiovese-Merlot-Cabernet blend. Wow. This is hands down the best 10 buck wine I've ever tasted.
