I make home brew and it’s really rather nice. As I have an allotment I often have asurplus of fruit and there’s really only so much jam you can make. So wine is a great way of using it up. I had been buying my yeast from major shops near me but they’ve both stopped doing it. Luckily you can buy it online and there’s a huge range of yeasts for specific drinks.

My big success this year has been dandelion. It was deliciously sweet and delightful and worth the hours of picking dandelions! The raspberry is delicious – fruity but sharp, and the blackcurrant is divine!

The shop is called Home Brew Online – they sell tons of homebrew stuff!
