hi guys, im fairly new to homebrewing so i thought i would share my activities!

on the 6th i started a beaverdale kit chardonnay, and bottled it within 13 days!

i know it would of benefited from ageing but it tasted so utterley fantastic i gobbled the lot!

you accomplished guys on here may well have heaters etc for keeping your liquid around 20 degrees, but an a starter i had to improvise! i used my laptop charger block underneath the DJ, and put my fleece over it. the result was a constant 20.5 degrees day & night, as in my spare room it gets cold! the results were purely magnificent!

i set my second kit off last night, which was a young's concentrate kit, im nurturing it the same as the first so i will let you know how i get on!

in the meantime im off to buy some ingredients for my first TC!

it is incredible how much the wine kits improve with age... I made some for the missus who can't drink it now she is preggers and so I have charged with the onerous task of drinking it.. Damn ;). Had some last night and it has become bloody lovely after seemingly no time at all.. the rest may stay in the DJ until the little one pops out!!
