Making sweeties all day long is appealing though
i have the same feeling about driving past the boarder... "you are now entering no-mans land!!"
but then, thats those northerners for you.

Any pics andy? Man, it feels like an age since I last brew.
On the bright side, I picked up some supplies today for a brew next bank holiday, and a drum tap for one of my fermenters to solve the "leaving the house by the upstairs bedroom window" problem (
) and I also picked up Dave Line's "Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy"...what a fantastic book!
