Hedgerow Port and Hunstanton

A very harsh slap on the back of the hand should be mine for my failure to post anything for such a long time.  But, work, life... always something to do... excuses etc.

So first up, I managed to 'put on' a gallon of Hedgerow Port the other day.  Not really port of course but the resulting brew should have some port - like qualities.

2kg Elderberry
1.5kg Blackberry
1kg Sloe
500g Blackcurrant  (not from the hedge)
500g Rasins
2litres red grape juice

With a high alcohol yeast and some careful step feeding of sugar I hope to push this little lot to around 18% abv

Only downside is it will not even begin to become drinkable for at least two years.



We had a lovely day in Hunstanton last week.  A good walk along the beach and haddock and chips for tea!  What could be better?
