Post Edited: 21.06.2022 @ 17:01 PM by dannyboy73 No you are exactly right sir.we intend to start making our own alcohol. Its on our to do list (although long, getting smaller...) The stocking up on spirits is to use for barter if the economy nose dives before we have time to implement distilling or alcohol becomes probate or hard to come by. This links back to my first post. We are preparing to be physically ready for anything, - we feel like we have been psychologically prepared for a long time now. Nice link by the way.... Oh, and we got 2 punnets of ripe strawberries from the garden today for the kids. Half of my dinner tonight we have grown. luki said:With all your fruit and veg would you not invest in a home alcohol distiller instead of buying alcohol? You make a recipe like this hard cider, then distill the cider to make apple snaps. You can follow the same directions for cherry, pear, peach, plums, berries. If you use vegetables you make a wort like beer instead of a wine. Distill this and you've got poiteen. High starch veg means you've to add less sugar to get alcohol eg potato, turnip, swede, beets, corn, radish... It's a great way to reduce waste by using up peels and windfall. Make sure to add campten pills to stop natural yeast making your cider vinegar. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/allotment/2011/oct/06/allo... https://m-eur.vevor.com/water-distiller-c_10700?sort_by=price&order=asc | |||

Post Edited: 13.06.2022 @ 17:01 PM by dannyboy73 This whole working at home can only result is wages going down[hope you get to get away with it though  quote]Funky_monkey said:After looking at the daily growth of my daikon radishes, I've decided I won't be bothering with normal varieties any more. Tuesday last week they were the size of a cigarette butt, 6 days later they are the size of a large thumb, and lord knows how much is growing below the ground. Might be going to Cyprus in the next couple of days - bit of time relaxing fishing, fixing the gym a bit (guttering and pouring some concrete for my gazebo underneath the grape vines). Have to see if I can convince my boss that I can work there, but there's no internet at mine so i might have to hang out at my neighbour's house and at my friend's house. | |||

| Might give this a whirl sir. luki said:I've been eating bbq cauliflower with buffalo sauce (ketchup, tobasco and white wine vinegar) lately. Makes a nice change from cauliflower cheese. Radish and celery goes well with it dipped in mayo, gorgonzola and sour cream sauce. Better eating than chicken wings. | |||
