I got given LOADS of stuff by someone at work who no longer makes booze, and combined with my existing kit and my housemates kit, I now have:
16 demijohns
Various sized fermentation buckets
Lots of glass bottles and corks etc
All I really need to spend a bit of money on is the stuff going in the demijohns - which will mainly be foraged. Does anyone else have as many demijohns, and what do you do with them all?? I have a massive cellar so storage is not a problem, and would love to start producing my own alcohol and seeing as I have so much kit sitting about, it seems rude not to Last summer just off one apple tree we got 19 litres of cider - twas lovely (note use of past tense ) We have access to lots of apple trees and apparently now an orchard that is no longer in use in OH's village. Plus we live in norfolk - which is littered with lovely hedgerows, wild trees etc laden with clean, organic fruit. Can anyone recommend a book to explain a bit more about alcohol making - I like to know what I;m doing and why. also any recommendations are welcome for recpies
1 more question - I would quite like to make a lot (LOT) of booze and sell it at festivals etc seeing as there is a market for homebrew (I was thinking organic norfolk cider, sloe gin, hedgerow wine, elderflower wine etc) but what is the legality of this? Can you sell your own alcohol?
