Hi from Faslane

[jackjosh]

Hi, I have been making wine for a few years now, mainly kits but have done a few fruit juice wines as well. I am a submariner in the Navy so can be away from my creations for 3 months at a time which can be a bit limiting with the choices of stuff to make, i am though aiming to start doing some more unusual stuff (Wine wise lol).
Cheers People

Hi and welcome.

 

[PD]

at least you get your brews to mature a reasonable length of time....

Welcome.

Welcome!

You're lucky in a way. No chance of you digging into the stash too early, everything will always be very nicely matured

We need to be quiet so we sit between hydraphones and run all our kit to make sure we are undetectable. Oh and I am from Barrow-in-Furness.
