Think it was one of our fellow mods who sent me the c berry amateur wine making book when I first signed up on here .. I gave it to my dad it made his day!
He had one of the original copies litterally falling to bits
he's currently thawing out several lbs of brambles from the deep freeze to produce wine aka rocket fuel (tow when this is all ove
He once got a very well to do and snobby (although a lovely) aunt very very drunk on some bramble homebrew... She turned her nose up at the idea of homebrew he decanted some into a stowells red bottle, corked it and sweated a foil cap on over the kettle ... Opening it in front of her she demolished the bottle
Went to our local Boyes Itsi will know the chain sort of a old school home bargains selling everything including home brew When the pubs shut there was a gaggle of blokes eying up the kits reading the backs intently... The looks I got grabbing 2 kits and 2kg of spray malt was entertaining like "he knows what he's doing"
