Back to Brewing

After all my excitement over getting a new vid completed and live, tonight I returned to some physical brewing. Washing and removing labels, metalic neck sleeves etc from a dozen or so bottles. Then sterlising, rinsing, drying. Major zzzz's. Then doing similar with 3 DJ's. Then some fun, in a very basic sort of way ... pouring the Tanglefoot into them. It's been on the go for around a week now. Will likely post a piccie tomorrow. Looks like cloudy real lemonade. Smells, well not pleasant, but not bad, and it's a familiar smell that isn't the harbinger of a doom laden result. So all is fine.

Also checked on the Vieux Chateau Du Roi. Its been on the go for about a month, according to the instructions it should have finished fermenting after about 20 days. Well it's still going, albeit very slowly. Smells good tho. The time thing is not a worry tho, generally speaking more time is your best mate in achieving good quality ... and that is a great reason to brew heaps. You won't be able to drink it all, and so the excess gets time to age properly. So what are you waiting for? go get a brew on  ;)
