Most of my family either worked on the railway or ‘darn pit’ when I was growing up in 70s Sheffield, and me and my mate used to help his dad shovel the anthracite delivery into bags then stow it in the ‘coil owse’ good times, don’t think I’ll bother with the tomato wine experiment though...

I used to do that with my grandad who had an allotment at Handsworth in Sheffield. Rag n bone man didn’t really do the rounds there but there was a riding stables close by so he had a barrow (barra) home made for the purpose of collection horse poo ready to be delivered to the ‘muck eeep’ to rot...

Go down to your local riding stables next spring and get yourself a few bags of well rotted manure, it’s usually free and fabulous stuff! My neighbour who taught me a lot of gardening stuff swears by it calling it black gold! It certainly does the trick and all plants love it!

It doesn’t sound promising but I have a spare DJ and way too many toms so I might just give it a go anyway 🤣

yes haha! Oops! I was trying to enter the competition.

wrong thread post, oops!

Taken a reading today and it's down to 0.997, still bubbling though.

Thanks Chippy, I got some WOW on the go too.. be interesting to see how that turns out. I made some with apple juice and it's pretty good, not much flavour though.

Hello folks, I'm a bit of a newby so go easy! I've made quite a few of the Magnum wine kits with great results over the summer, I've got one of the Rose kits on the go now as the missis is a bit partial to it. I did one in the summer and after 7 days fermentation had stopped, and was ready for...
