You should sell that homebrew. I'd buy a bottle.

That's a point - starting to wish I'd saved a few bottles now.
Still, it's easily recreated. Just need to wait until the elderflowers come out. And then hope to god it's more like last year's batch than the year before's batch...

That'll be a nice drop in the summer.

It's an ideal summer drink
The flowers usually appear in late spring, then it needs a few weeks to ferment and mature and is (hopefully) in a drinkable condition by the time the temperature picks up.

I have plans to try and ferment a can of fruit salad
Just to see what would happen. I'm not sure if I'm being encouraged or discouraged.

I have to admit I have looked at the prices of soda streams.

If we do it right, it should carbonate itself.

I'm all for it
I just can't find that other tin of fruit salad.

I think a tin of the shitty in syrup would be better
than actual proper nice fridge-fruit. Though we can always experiment, I guess.

It certainly contains more sugar
And in any case you get an excuse to use your fancy new hand-blender.

Hand blenders are awesome.

Only you could get more excited about kitchen utensils than alcohol...

Only just noticed the alcohol mentioned above tbh
I'm thoroughly ashamed of myself...
