Default Home brewing........

Got the still going at the moment, trying to regulate the water to keep
it at an even 90-91c. Going to start making the spirits for the party in
August :-)

And have just put on a batch of 'monkey blood' aka Australian Shiraz.
Funny thing is, the Canuks take our grapes over there, process them and
then sell it back to us so that we can brew it up at home!! And it works
out cheaper, too!! I end up with 30 bottles of Shiraz for $77 = $2.50 a
bottle!! Apparently, it's pretty good after about 6 months bottle age.


I got the Vintners Reserve Australian Shiraz
