Vin De Noix

Yesterday was the day! Time to check out to see if the rocket fuel aka Vin De Noix in the barn was ready for bottling! After carefully bringing in the glass jars it was time to take off the lids! Weeheeeeey alcohol fumes permeated the kitchen, this stuff was definately ready to be tested and bottled!

First i had to pour it out of the jars through a filter, now not having such a thing to hand i had to improvise and so i borrowed one of luscious's stockings!!! She wasn't wearing them at the time! Cracking job it worked a treat, with the bits now out of the vin it was time for the first taste! yummy yummy yummy woooow! It slides down real nice but then has a nice warming afterglow...bloody hell. So to bottling, using funnel gently pour filtered fuel into bottle and as there was a little bit left drink it! Same again for second bottle and of course the for the tird! The next galss bottle was a slightly different recipe in that i added cannelle! so of course i just had to taste it and then do a comparision taste. Hmmmm not sure which oi prefer the best so better bottle it and keep sampling. Third more buttles and tas is oimproving i both like all of them. total six butles in stuck for imbybing at a latur date.

I tink i shull lyk this self surficency thingy.......

    Years ago, I brewed my own wine. I rapidly discovered bottling was a waste of time. Far better drink it straight from the demi-john; or, just lie under luscious' stocking with your mouth open.

    Mandy: err, burp, hic... sorry all soft centres now gone! but more on the way from uk next week i hope! Vin noix now back in barn in bottles.Hopefully the snake won't take a liking to it as well although i haven't seen it for a couple of days!

    RJ; Not a bad idea, just cut out the bottling. not sure i could manage 5 litres in one go though.
