Brewed 5 Gallons of DaveH's Cascade Summer Ale.

And got some of the flooring down in the spare room (my official brew room, once the decorating is finished) and since I'm in a flat it's naturally water proof in case of spills

Filtered 5 gallons of #1, and 2.5 gallons of some medium/sweet rosé. Minijet has seen better days and seems to be leaking from the inboard pump seal. Time for a different filtering method me thinks.

Happy Thanksgiving to our cousins from across the pond.
Using up the merlot skins (frozen) from Grapefest, adding some eldeberry and blackberry steamed juice (frozen) and making up a 2 gallon batch.
Also going to kick off a 5 gallon Cab Sauvingon Beaverdale (remeber Tesco back in the summer) and making a birthday cake (non-alcoholic) for my son's 7th birthday.
I can feel my desire to work out the rest of the day ebbing away as I think about tonights winemaking frenzy.

Finally, my kitchen is in some sort of order... not completely sorted... but no more dust flying about, so enough order to rack some wine.
So, I managed to rack and degass a lychee and a wine number one that I started aaaaaaages ago.

Finishing up the last of the bottling this morning.

On the up side, the wine room got a good sorting. I had cases and cases of recycled bottles in the cellar. Almost 20 such cases. I spent 6 hours Friday removing labels and cleaning them. A lot of work, but it certainly de-cluttered the cellar. I can now walk from one end of the room to the other without falling over something.

[kampervan]

started the last of my california conn kits and brought a lot of fruit from freezer to make a mixed fruit red
