Well after the disaster with the blackcurrant I thought I'd post about the recent successes 
The rhubarb has been bottled, is nice already if a little tart for my taste, will make a great gift for my white wine drinking friends.
The marrow is bottled - again it's pleasant already, although lacking a certain something... which brings me onto the marow and ginger which is bottled and is already a cracker!
Might save that one for myself
The apple has been bottled - it tastes different to the one I made the year before, this time I had a much more varied selection of apples. It's light and pleasant but lacks any real punch - one for the old dears in the family pressies!
Have also bottled the kit strawberry (wilkos) - this is always a winner, light and lovely to drink, great for pressies as nobody knows it's from a kit! Have done several of these now and they are drinkable straight away.
Runing out of bottles and room in the garage (OH has build a shelf system for them to go on their sides above the back door to the garage in the dead space, with spacers to stop them rolling about)
The year before sloe (2009) has been racked again - still cloudy, it's had finings in but think that might be one to abandon, as last years's sloe has already cleared better.
