You say that rob, but think on.....when they interview axe murderers neighbours, they always say the same......ooooh he was so normal, seemed like a nice guy


so i think Pete could be a closet hatchet man, lets face it, anyone who names their yeast starters is obviously a fruit loop

Indeed......so if we see Pete rocking a penguin puppet next time we see him, we're screwed!!! :P

Mr Flibble says........Game Over Boys! LOL!!!!!

I'm not sure my Pedro, my Portugese floor corker, will agree with that

I accquired another batch of rhubarb today.
Appox 3 kilo

I also got 2.5 kilos of raspberries for 4 quid out of Asda

I am going to start a few gallons off over the next couple of days

Pressed my Black cherry port off the skins. 10 days - I didn't dare linger longer though still plenty of sugar (I recently fed it) IU probably could have waited. Any way, delighted with the level of extraction, flavour etc. Also, worried a little about being in Bob's house with Pete last Grapefest. I didn't think about it at the time but his eyes were so wild when we were watching "In Bruges". He seemed so well, normal.

I have got rhubarb defrosting, hopefully enough for 5 gallons

busy bottling filtering and just put my first kit with grape skins from primary to secondary fermenter squeezed those little darlings dry I did. Nice red hands!!!.

Which kit was that? Presumably WinExpert.

Me, I fired up another Luna Rossa kit (highly recommended for an early-drinking red with plenty of body).

A bit of tasting this afternoon (strictly NOT for enjoyment ). A Kenridge Petit Verdot / Cab Sav (2 years old) - still like a tweaked Beaverdale kit, quite disappointing. A WE Supertuscan, which is 18 months old and very EVERYTHING. When it settles down (probably in about 3 years by the taste of it), I reckon it's going to be quite good .

Psyching myself up to get a couple of gallons on the go tomorrow - probably a WN1 + Gooseberry, and an Ancient Orange Mead (4 years sine I made one). This is a really bad idea, filling fermentaers and using yeast stocks just a few weeks before GF, but what the heck.
