Lovely looking bull , now where's the horseradish. Many moons ago o worked on a farm near rye, mostly sheep but they had a few stud bulls , 2 were so friendly like giant dogs, the 3rd one artamis was a sneaky ass that took great amusement in gently but purposefully knocking you over into the...

Ye a big red deer can be 18stone plus easy roe deer 30/40 kilos ish muntjack are tiddy little things lol. Major issue is humans killed of the deer's natural predator ( wolf ) now they are uncontrolled in the large part , this causes interbreeding , genetic defects etc. Rather than a relatively...

What recipe did you use for your chilli jam ? The black Hungarian ones I have been drying in the dehydrator and crushing to corse powder , smells amazing almost akin to the pringles sour cream and chive but with serious bite lol.

Used to hunt as well , did my level 1&2 in deer management, these days the most I get to shoot is the odd rat that tries to munch my pumpkins. Due to physical injuries I sustained I rely on crutches to walk ( permeant) so had to sell off my firearms. Still have a couple of nice sub 12ftlb air...

Looking at pea pod wine as it intrigues me lol , might well und up as drain cleaner but be brave and ferment it lol ;)

Hi all still very new to all this , got the bits together finally for the first brew from the garden , given this bloody hot weather and hotter to come should I hold off for a week or just go for it ? , Most of the bits either are frozen or can be frozen but very limited on space and the good...

Would love to have a go but unfortunately the kit required for all grain brewing is out of my price range and ability to store it :( If anyone has a crack at the malt miller's one though I'd love to know how it compares.

Off topic slightly but I also highly recommend their Christmas pudding ;) it's divine. Patents live in Eastbourne so next time I'm over that way I'll grab a bottle of the porter and have a play , next decision is what beer kit to go for next. Need a nice bitter not overly heavy just a good...
