Hi all. We get a lot of people ask us in the shop about brewing beer from grain, and everyone seems to think you need lots of expensive equipment and years of knowledge.

happy picking.

Hi all. Want to make something else rather than sloe gin / vodka??? Then try sloe wine. It is amazing. Popped open a bottle last night that I found as I was rummaging around for some batteries - 3 years old - and its amazing. The best red wine I think I've EVER had!!! So, I'm off out tomorrow to the...

Hi all. There are so many blackberries out at the moment and they are just too good this year - really sweet, large and plump with lots of flavour an juice.
