Ahem thats a typo, I meant 18 gallons. :D

the nettle and ginger winer is lovely, really its a basic wine recipe, with young stinging nettle heads, boiled for an hour and a chunk of root ginger mashed in then strained in primary and all ya bits added..

Very nice indeed.

the gorse bush wine is those bright yellow prickly bushes like this;

and ribena wine is made from Ribena! (or any other brand disgusting sickly sweet blackcurrant cordial.) as long as its high in fruit / apporx 35%. Not tried this one, but heard good reports, comes out like a port almost, strong and warming.
