Surely, this is what the wedding list is for! My resolution would be to brew enough and far enough in advance so I have some beer ready for the big occasions.

Exactly the question I had! I think I'll use mine for wine or maybe make a batch of chilli sauce, I've got some of those reusable plastic corks which will hopefully fit.

Following this thread!

Title says it all really, got my micro batch bottled yesterday, a simple brew with Maris otter malt and east Kent Golding and a touch of orange zest.

Jesus Christ! I'm glad I left the Xmas party early!

Very nice! I did wonder why there were anchors on them, but then I realised.....

Got two FVs for £6.80, good stuff, thanks for the tip-off. :D

Ha ha, I'm guessing it doesn't make good telly if things go well!

Sounds nice, let us know how it works out, I fancy trying something similar at some point :D

Don't think I ever saw that one!

This is my first (and only) home brew book so I have nothing to compare it against, but I have found it very useful and informative. I would say that it is geared toward beginners although more advanced brewers should also find it useful. The book is split into four sections, liqueurs,wine...
