Quick question for you Stephen, how much cherry did you use in the mead you had the last night?

Ah good stuff. I bottled a wheat beer today so it'll be ready in time. I was really impressed with the initial taste test

1lb of fresh cherrys cut in half and then on the second month of racking i racked on top of another pound of tinned cherrys just to add to the flavour. You won't get fresh cherrys this time of year though

Friday the 12th suits me.  I should have my turbo cider and the craft range APA to try.

Out! Christmas party same night and free food wins out! Obviously, right?
The Merlot came out nicely. Another month to mature before yee get it should help(edit: smell is way too fruity). It's about 11%.
