MEAD!

A dreaded sunny day, but warm temperatures are good for homebrew..




Dry Mead

3lbs honey
3/4 tsp tannin
2/3 tsp tartaric acid
1/3 tsp malic acid
1 tsp yeast nutrient
water to near 1 gallon.

All ingredients mixed, 1 campden tablet added, wait for 24 hours.

Add yeast.

Wait...

Some good old fashioned anthropomorphism...

Did this a few years ago....

The screaming habdabs

Not really Andy, I had a great time. It's amazing how much overzealous drunken football makes ones legs ache though...

Geosciency stuff

This one's appearing in the June edition of Geoscientist. The July one is just completed. This one is based on everyone favourite smartarse James Lovelock, an incredibly clever man. I do wish he didn't call his big idea Gaia though, it sounds a bit yoghurt weaved.

Hopefully I'll be able to get inspired and do several months worth at once rather than all this hand to mouth nonsense. I don't think I'll get much done today though, I'm still feeling somewhat addled after my mate Andys stag do. So much so that I was an hour and a half late for work this morning. Ho hum.
