After many, many (many, many - you get the drift) years of happy marriage we have at last made a Xmas pudding worthy of the North County Brewers seal of approval!
I hear you asking: WHY/ WTF is he on about?
Without giving away all the secrets that went in to our pudding, we used:
Bramley apples from James' Dad (or was it Marians?) :)
NCB Imperial stout fresh from the cask :) :)
And just to boost the Octane level:
A good glug of 60% Pure taken from a cask that we found on a distant plannet a year ago! :) :) :)
The mix is now resting and hydrating (well that is not quite the right word given the ABV of the wort/wash) but the fruit is swelling nicely ( and gigglng like drunken girlies [or is that me] )
Watch this space on Steven's day for a review or better still pop round for a sample!
