Actually the morissons FREE wine carriers are alarmingly sturdy!

I just use them to transport to the shed keeping the whole cargo very CLOSE to the floor

I got a bit of a taste and it tasted ok

Will check in a few weeks

Glad to hear after all your efforts that it isn't ruined

I'm going to continue to ferment mine in the dark just in case though (would break my heart to have to dump another batch).

Well i couldn't wait. It was a nice warm day (shockingly) so i stuck a bottle of my mini mash in the fridge to chill a bit.

I was amazed. The head was huge a world apart from my geordie kit and they have been bottled the same time. The taste was nice and malty with a nice light hoppy taste.

It tastes like beer which in itself i consider a success. It's very very light in body but i guess thats a result of 100% pale malt.

Can't wait to try next one
