Apparently it makes no difference how high your IQ might be, success is all about hard work (who knew?). This test tells you how much 'grit' you have - the more grit, the more you're likely to succeed.
The US army, some schools and various other important groups are using this test to check if you're really worth it....
(I have quite a lot of grit - I scored 4 - I'm now waiting for success)

Got invited to an awful lot of barbeques, donated that to the town orchard though, it is quite a silly amount of cider to have kicking about. Just got a small press now, home made from a car jack, threaded bar, some oak and an old washing machine drum. It works beautifully. Wine is a bit more difficult to do than cider, Just make sure everything is nicely sterile, get your yeast going first and don't forget the sugar, In fact ask amadeus, he seems to be very sage in these matters. Most of all have fun!
( , Fri 3 Aug 2012, 13:30, Reply)

Make sure every things clean.
I use VWP as it rinses nicely and doesn't leave a taste.
Once yeast is going you'll get a nice CO2 layer that will protect the brew from infections so long as no foreign bodies get in.
Unless you own a vineyard don't be a snob about making "prison brew"
I've made very nice brews using white grape juice from supermarket and fruit tea bags.
Dissolve suger in boiling water until clear before adding to the mix.
Only add the yeast when the temp is in the mid 20's or you'll just kill it.
Don't go mad and add twice as much sugar as required. You'll just get a very sweet wine.
Yeast generally dies at around 17% proof with a few going to 22% but don't taste that good.
Praise the yeast organism for the wonder it is.
This little feller gobbles sugar, pisses alcohol and farts CO2.
When it comes to clearing you have a choice. Leave things to settle by themselves over a couple of weeks or add some isinglass.

This is why most wine is not vegetarian btw.

....The Hip Hop Years. A cracking 3 parter from C4 in the 90s (methinks). It's worth it alone for the interview with Kool Herc right at the start where he replays how he invented hip-hop. It sends shivers up my spine every time I see it. I find it really strange how one of the biggest cultural movements of my time, as a kid who went from being 5 to 15 in the 80s, that all hip-hop can be directly attributed back to one man who never made any money from it and never left the Bronx. Well him and Jimmy Saville invented hip-hop but that's a different story.
