YES! "Animals" is my fave Floyd album. Completely agree with your sentiments. Wasn't sure anyone else felt that way.

I made the EdWort recipe about a year ago. I too was very disappointed with the results - not much taste at all. I attempted to mess with it - I spiced some (cinnamon and cloves), and added some raspberry to some and cranberry to some. I have basically forgotten about them. I plan on trying...

How much aging do you recommend for best taste?
