Sheilaz Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 That's brilliant, Spuddy. It's not something I do yet, but I can see it looks like a really good idea. Wishing you every success with it. Cheers! (Mine's a pint, please. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happymama Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Waiting for my activation email. I like wine at 29p a bottle, and beer at 24p a pint. Our local home brewing shop is Hop and Grape, and they are wonderful for advice and kit. I've used kits so far, but have been cultivating an elderberry tree at the bottom of the garden ... unfortunately we're planning to move soon to probably a much smaller and less mature garden. I like real ale, too, but proper mash-brewing will have to wait until we have a lot more space (like some of the bedrooms back, perhaps!). Looking forward to joining you Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
