Home brew

The kit has been bought; the festive party planned; the guest list drafted; and now the home brew vodka is bubbling nicely.

In a mere four weeks we should have a gallon of the finest vodka ready to age(!) and mature before being guzzled by our guests.

Next week the second kit will be started, and a gallon of the finest coconut rum will be bottled.

The apple rum that I made last year was a stunning success - i.e. most of the guests left the house somewhat stunned after a few glasses - and we hope to repeat this trick this year again.

The usual suspects will get an invite in due course.
