After bottling 42 bottles of wine a couple of weeks ago, I've now got:
Maturing - blackberry and nettle, orange and cranberry, and strawberry and mango tea bag wines. They will be bottled this week.
Fermenting - lemon, strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, cherry, and California Connoisseur Zinfandel blush. All wines. On The Rocks raspberry and lime cider, 23 litres, and 8.5 litres of strawberry TC.
I can tell next year will be going by in a drunken haze!

Currently I have:
ingredients ready for a 2 gal ginger ale, with possible addition of blackberries from the freezer.
(maybe 1 DJ ginger, 1 DJ ginger and blackberry)
2 litres of Limoncello 'infusing'
12 wine bottles of Plum/Damson wine maturing (but will probably add these to other very dry stuff)
6 beer bottles of dry ginger beer
10 bottles of cider
2 wine bottles of plum/damson cider
surpisingly, for the first time in ages, I feel like I don't have much in - probably because I didn't do the usual (7gal) FV of cider this year.

I have 13.5 litres of allotment wine (strawberry, rhubarb and cherry) ready for bottling, 20 litres of blackberry and elderberry clearing, and a Kenridge Classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc kit in the post which will be brewed as soon as I get a free 23 litre FV (need 2 to do another rack of the blackberry and elderberry).
I'm planning to move into turbo cider production as well, might do a 23 litre batch in the new year in the hope it'll be drinkable for summer!!
