When I got drunk on 23 liters of home brewed wine
Luckily for me, I still had 2 good swimming legs to stand up on
and got my diabetes back under control.

Oh no! I'm brewing double now. I have to keep up with the accusations now and lifting up a 23 liter bucket of wine takes a "Strong Woman" to do so

I may be old! Yes! just qualified for my State Pension, bitter in some ways as I had to wait until I was 66 to qualify for it when it should have been 60 for a woman and 65 for a man. At least I've reached the age to qualify for it, unlike many others that passed away before they reached the age. I would just like to know why our Government have changed the age from 60 to 66 for women? They go off how many years you've worked to calculate what you're entitled to. Many women were looking after their kids plus working all hours god sends. Yes! it was the Men's role to go out and work but many women did the same but are now being penalised to having to wait until they're 66 to claim their State Pension in their own right. It's totally wrong that women have to keep waiting for this. They haven't depended on their husbands, they have worked and paid into the system and so deserve every penny they get. So yes! Some women are strong in more ways than one
I was just stating this "Fact" before the King of CS came in with his ever continuing insults regarding "Women"

You need to do it right and get barrels to brew it in. About 100 barrels every 2 weeks should keep pace ------ This thread is Archived ------

Have several varieties of grapes and yeasts. Put in some tried and true recipes and do some experimental recipes. Different types of woods in the barrels matters too.------ This thread is Archived ------

I just get the kits off Ebay with the dried fruits. Have the muslin bags to keep the fruit in the bag. Let it ferment for 6 months instead of 3 weeks, just stir it now and again. Something that I enjoy doing along with my gardening and practicing on my keyboard. Just taken up swimming twice a week and so my retirement is taking up a lot of my days now I think that I'm doing very well for an old drunken woman ------ This thread is Archived ------

I wonder why all the members who haven't created a similar thread came to the conclusion that they did have an alternative.
