Happy new year to you all. I hope that last years brewing was full of successes and that you have some of last years brews laid down for consumption this year. Feel free to use this blog to tell me what you've achieved. I moderate all comments so don't be put off by your's not appearing immediately. It'll take me a day at most to publish it.
2012 for me is likely to be about brewing the familiar, and improving on it. I've done a lot of experimentation for the last 2 years. Getting with the times with the quickie brews for example. And also expanding upon the range of ginger wines i make. My target was to make 50 gallons and i just achieved this with a 10 gallon dash in december.
So as i see it just now i'll be making a big batch of orange wine sometime soon. Then i need to find the best of the simple quickie wines and repeat them. Adding complexity ... Elderflower done in a quickie style and all variations on ginger wine quickies will also be done. More tanglefoot is definite, and i'll be hoping for a good berry foraging season this year. As for experimetation well every year i aim to make silver birch sap wine (or sycamore). Perhaps this year i'll achieve that aim.
