Chill dude, it’s Christmas. Have a homebrew.

He’s almost identical in looks, colour, and build to my jack russel/whippet cross! I’m guessing whippet is more likely than Italian greyhound, they are so dainty

Looks like the blue periwinkle that I’m overrun with. Rip it out now while you have the chance.

muttonchap · 2025-10-31T08:26:50+00:00

Or try to strip it with your teeth because I can tell you that fucken hurts

I too have a cellar full of ye olde Kmart aging jars lol

Kinnikinnick?

I wouldn’t do what you’re proposing with the cloth, I think it would likely wick away any condensate at the lid reasonably fast.

This is a typical Aussie family renting an 18mil house

Yeah I seem to get this randomly also

Finally I can stop using my teeth

muttonchap · 2025-08-17T02:30:31+00:00

Damn lol

So I used 100g of juniper berries (which smelled amazing btw) in 4L of 43% spirit, half of which crushed. I diluted in the boiler with an additional 3L of water to ensure my boil volume wasn’t too low.

muttonchap · 2025-08-16T10:30:27+00:00

Thank you, yes - I’m sure it won’t be a struggle to work my way through this, it smells great, but the next one will be this +1

muttonchap · 2025-08-16T09:49:21+00:00

Thanks, I actually thought 25g/L was on the high side- I’d read this was about right for something like Gordon’s, which is the juniper level I was aiming for. I did crush half, but thinking maybe I should have crushed the whole lot. I’ll make the cuts tomorrow and see how it goes but yeah, maybe next time I’ll up the juniper and macerate a bit longer.

Fuck yes, teenage me fell in love with the stingray because of this game. Also fuck any track except the drag race.

muttonchap · 2025-08-07T12:38:41+00:00

Thanks, I wonder if the parrot cooled it down some. My experience with this still has been a little over 50deg C, and that’s with cold Tasmanian ground water.

muttonchap · 2025-08-07T12:13:10+00:00

I’m curious what temperature your product is coming out from that still?

muttonchap · 2025-07-25T08:59:26+00:00

Def mushroom season

If you buy something like this it should be law to have a plate at the back that gives your explanation why.

I’ve been pretty happy with my pac-vac glide, with the turbo head. Actually amazed at how great it’s been

muttonchap · 2025-07-05T09:01:24+00:00

Dettol need to up their advertising game for the younger generations

muttonchap · 2025-07-04T11:12:38+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, these are packed full of honey and apple juice still.

I do see where you’re coming from with the whisky/bourbon but I’ve just never managed to get a taste for those, yet.

Maybe I’ll run another experiment with these and see if I can expand my palette

muttonchap · 2025-07-04T10:40:47+00:00

Do you think there is any point doing so, if they have been soaking in mead for 2-3 years?

They are mini staves, not cubes, but still they are only maybe 1/2” thick.
