carlosj Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not sure the sloe wine will be ready for glasto, as it's supposed to be matured for a year. Think it'll be more of an autumn/winter drink anyway. I am thinking of having a go at making mead though. That should be a fair bit quicker. If successful, I could bring some along! That's inspiring. I've bought some apple trees for the lotty. I'll bring cider (in 2027). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 2027 is a fallow year Not for Yorkshire "zider". I'd like to get back to making beer too, but scarce time and an inability to keep it long enough make that unlikely ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried a dry(ish) mead? I like traditional sweet mead in small quantities, but a dry one is like drinking a dry wine with the taste of summer meadows in the background. I'm hoping to produce both, so maybe you'll give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a sweet mead, but every one I have tried I have liked! I've never tried to make booze of any variety- oh apart from strawberry gin for this years fest. That was nice!

mr gumby Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Tip for everyone: never tell a child something is a secret. I was making a birthday present with our little boy today for his mum's birthday next week and I told him not to say anything when she got in. The first words out of his mouth when she arrived were 'Mummy Birthday!' I'm slowly learning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
