Secret Santa's Present

[graysalchemy]

Just been given this as a Secret Santa.

Quite an interesting book I won't be a brewing bible for me but given me some interesting ideas for both beer and wine. Full of the usual suspects for hedgerow wines, but I d id't know you could do Himalayan Balsm Champagne, which is interesting as we have tonnes of the stuff growing near by. Also beer with rosemary. :hmm: :hmm:

If mods want to move this thread to book reviews feel free, but I couldn't be arsed to wait for a posting in that section.

I've seen this when I've been on the Kindle site...you often wonder what's in them.

It was Andy Hamilton that started me brewing and making my own bacon/smoking/curing type stuff. I know that he is writing another book at the moment.

We're thinking of getting a smoker..like this. just wondering if we would put it to it's best use, or maybe a waste of money?

That looks brilliant and will save loads of time building. I use an old wood burner that is conected to an ex wiskey barrel vial about 10m of flexible chimney liner. It means I can hot or cold smoke. Have done whole salmon,loads of fish and bacon. Now that I am getting head around PIDs I may build something with a little better temperature control.

That looks really good Rob and not to much money. Mind you I have managed to pick up a fridge and a filling cabinet recently I think I could construct one out of those :lol: :lol:
