[lannyman8]

port.....nom nom nom, port is my poisen, one day i might drink to much and go off it, but i dought it....

big up the Ribena...

 

[Mafro]

Ohh is that this years Cherry wine by the look of the label? I never normally even contemplate drinking my homemade wine until they are at least 12 months old. I have 2 gallons of cherry wine in the cupboard that I made earlier in the year that will need bottling soon so i look forward to a taste from the siphon tube

Tonight I am drining some of last years sparking cider Yum

 

[lannyman8]

twas a good bach, each wine depends on the fruit, plum is adleast a 12 monther, cherry is 2 ish, elderberry the same, dandilion is 2 weeks...


only 3 bottles left now... and 1 bottle from last year of plum for xmas day.....


but have 5-6 gallons of plum to bottle....

sort of?????

i just get loads of fruit wash it of then bung it in the beer bin brewer, add 1 kg of sugar per gallon of liquid and 1-2 teaspoons of yeast and let it do its thing for about 2-3 months, the fruit is about 1/4 to 1/3 of the bin.... i then remove the fruit and move the liquid into coke bottles to settle, when settled in a week or 2 i siphen into wine bottles from the pub, sterile of course, and then leave to mature for a month or 2 (if you can wait that long) this years batch was very good...

i have about 12 trees of bird cherry so when i get gtime there is plenty to go round for the animals and me... its also nice and dry, but strong...hik...hik....

 

[lannyman8]

hmmmm, cocktails ehhhhh.... try alcohol get and orange, tastes like c*** but gets you mashed....

home brew is great, so easy to do and so many benafits, you learn new trees and plants, it get you out in the country, and it costs next to nothing but time and some sugar......

1 bad thing though, what a bad head i will have first thing....

 

[drewdunnrespect]

Looky buggers u lot cos I have been granfting on the night shift and the tipple of choice has been Black coffee that's strong enough to stand ur tea spoon in and 2 sugers

 

[lannyman8]

ahhhh, sorry Drew, thats my drink at work - the sugar, i only need about 30 of them a day though so its ok...

 

[Brewers Whoop]

How's the head today Lannyman? Not too bad I hope!

 

[persistent king]

your right about the head chris , home brew goes down a treat but ohhh my head today lol

 

[paul atkin]

Theres something very satisfying about drinking your own brews. I cracked open a fresh barrel of cider last night to wash down the curry lovely stuff

 

[lannyman8]

YES!!!!! today my head hurt for a few hours, and tonight im going to have to do it alllllllll again, its the mess do....

i like cider, the apples near me just dont seem to do it though... sour as a hell and gives me bad guts...

 

[paul atkin]

I make mine from cheap supermarket apple juice. 2kg of sugar dissolved in 4ltrs boiling water 20ltrs of apple juice (from concentrate is fine) teaspoon of wine yeast. Leave to bubble out then siphon to barrel and leave for a few weeks. Still refreshing and strong as hell.

 

[lannyman8]

cool, might try that next year...

thanks dude.

Your cherry wine is legendary mate, I'm not a great lover of wine usually but that stuff is something else :bowdown:

Can work quite well with all sorts of fruit juice combinations Chris, made a nice orange and grapefruit punch/cocktail/wine with a champagne yeast that I just kept feeding with sugar until the yeast died from the alcohol percentage, was potent stuff I can tell ya Definitely not one for meets lol
