Busy day

[CycoSymz]

I've had rather a busy day today...

Bottled my first batch of TC - primed half the bottles and just left the others.
Racked my original WOW - Looks and tastes pretty good so far.
Started a TC with cranberry
Started a WOW with red grape juice and pineapple juice.
Started a batch of Hooch.
Started a WOW with White grape juice and pineapple juice.

Yes I know, I need to improve my labeling technique

you have been busy. :thumb: But you will be busier still in a couple of weeks when they all need racking. :grin:

Yes, but that's a lot easier and less messy. It's also a lot closer to the drinking stage

That's good going, it'll all be worth it when it comes to :drink: . A tip to make the labelling look neat, just roll your labels up so that the little scrolls fit into the demijohn handles

I've just bottled the hooch into 2x 2 litre lemonade bottles. Decided to back sweeten it as it was a bit on the sour side.

Had a pint that didn't go in the bottles and although it was flat, it tastes great. Will need to brew more for the summer as I don't think it will last long.

Not entirely different to what I do, except if you make 4 cuts in one end you can push the label down over the neck of the lock.
Something like this, position of 1st cut easily sorted by folding a corner over, rest by folding along 1st cut
Quick, easy, and also fits over winebottle tops
