  • I have just left my cosy fire to venture into the kitchen for wine. I didn't realise it was so cold! Grabbed wine and cheddars and ran back to the fire.
    Bedroom is gong to be arctic.

    It's still fairly warm here, had thick fog today which kept the temperature up a bit.....not had the heating on and actually feeling quite flush (maybe this fruity fizzy is acting as a thermal insulator like BB's voddie)

  • Why Linda?

    Well I'm watching the Kirstie's Christmas program that I recorded yesterday, she is making some lovely soaps and smellies and these hideous blokes are using the mention of 'smellies' to have a farting contest. :mad:
    ...Linda xx

    I've just watched it too. Bet she buys more present.

    Will try, but I think I might seriously end up in the dog house if I hot foot it away for the whole night (even though I would much prefer to be at yours drinking and having chinese!) but leave it with me and I will test the water.

    It was all bunged in a large brewing bucket (with lid)...added a kilo of sugar and enough water to make it up to 2 gallons, a teaspoon of "pectolase" (breaks down the pectin and stops it turning to jam)...a teaspoon of brewing yeast and left it for about 10 days in a constant temperature (the kitchen)....then strained off all the pulp and bottled the liquid into sterilized 2litre fizzy drinks bottles (you need strong bottles!!) You let the bottles go firm - takes about a day in a warm room...then they're up to pressure, then pop in a cold room or fridge to stop the brewing process.

    Sounds more complicated than it actually is but the end result is lush!

    I have one of these with about 10 pints of manky beer in (pressie for OH a couple of years ago - he still has about 40 pints of the 'base' stuff but doesn't seem bothered so I stopped putting more in). I'm always the one to clean/sterilise/re-start the beer off..........so, perhaps for me instead.....any good for making fruity stuff? :confused:
