Hope to get the last of the '08 Cab in the bottle today. My wife is asking if she can have the kitchen back now.Last edited by NorthernWiner; 31-01-2010, 09:11 PM.Steve

Managed to find some time for my hobby today rather than it all being work related.
Bottled 40 pints of Coopers Mexican cervesa, heard great things about this kit so looking forward to it being ready.
Will next be putting on a wine ~ 1 with elderflowers and a couple of gallon of lychee.
Richard S is calling over later and we shall be sampling/blending some grapefest 08 grenache & sangiovese, maybe even a taster of 09 ciliwhatsit.Discount Home Brew Supplies

Duff, I've made that Mexican kit a while ago. I seem to remember it being good! Thanks to your tip to put lager type kits in bottles rather than a keg!!
Today in my winery.. I've brought inside some Elderberry to warm up, along with the black cherry port. The Elderberry gets the thumbs up from 'her indoors' even though I think it tastes a bit green.
Black cherry port is tasting good, even before getting any sugar in it!!
Been drinking some of Brian's second run wines tonight from GF09. Beverdale kits fermented with grapeskins
Also, a bottle of '07 Monte. It was very berry like, not bad, but certainly different to the cab sav/merlot!!

Putting stuff away today. I popped over to the local HBS to stock up on a few things. Three hours and eighty quid later, I'm back
After hunting for them on the Interweb in vain for ages, I found he stocks 750ml flip-top bottles. These are ideal for early-drinking wine such as Wine No.1, so I now have some (which means I can stop coveting Bob's )Pete the Instructor

Well, today I'm scratching my head.
I got a 71B starter going this afternoon. More accurately, I DIDN'T get it going
