        It's on my mind, though I'm not sure I can afford to have the warning tattoo on my forehead.

        You know, the one that says

        "Instant Ar5ehole, just add alcohol"

            Hey...I resemble that remark !!
            I wish I was a glow worm
            Cos a glow worm's never glum
            It's hard to be unhappy
            When the sun shines out your bum

              Well you can't be my long lost identical twin, unless you're about 19 stone, 6'4" tall, balding and have a real attitude problem

              Irrespective...... to bring the thread back on track.........

              I actually like the idea of such a device. Yes, it's fair to say that it'd probably make a very lazy home brewer, yes it's expensive, yes it's quite large.

              That's not to say that it's a bad thing. There is a certain element in the population, both here and across the pond, that would revel in such a device. So I say, "why not"! if you've got the readies, then surely it's up to you.

              p.s. I'm still undecided about grapefest, yes I'd like to attend. I'll have a look at the thread then when I get into the yard in the morning, I'll be able to see if that weekend is available (only 2 drivers allowed off on hols at any one time - perks of working for a small company).

                I've got one.

                I'll let you know how she goes.

                Cost me 400 quid - long story.

                There are only two in the UK and unsuprisingly the company ProVina have gone titsup.

                  Good score, I hope. It's too bad about the company. A brew shop close to me ended up with the entire inventory of ProVina's grapes. More details here:



                  I've probably purchased close to a half ton of frozen grapes and juice in the last few weeks (all say "WinePod" on the label)... Cabernet, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay. Next up, I am loading up on some of the Sauvignon Blanc.

                    Wow! That's a great lump of fruit you've got access to there. Of all the things about ProVina - the quality of the grapes was supposed to be top drawer.

                    You lucky chap.

                    I need to repair my winepod - the glycol chiller system sprung a leak. So some araldite glue and a refill of coolant and I'll fire the thing up.

                    Fingers crossed.

                      Yes, well, my wife might dispute that. Every time I return from the brew shop with more frosty pails, she gives me this look -->
