Going for me blackberries tonight for me wine. Found a load locally. @Wilfy is this another wait for months for it to be ready?

The wine I made, I used 5kg of blackberries for a gallon. It was immense after a year in the bottle, after 4 years it was unbelievably good. If you make any wine from fruit, it needs time to develop.

Thats the thing, you need to keep up the brewing so that you never run out! We've got a place that should be ready for loads of blackberries soon, gotta keep it secret though. Catch anything decent up there? Used to fish the place about 30 years ago.

Nice, I remember an old bloke getting a carp about 4lb when I used to go there and that was considered good.

Me and @luvulongtime saw a gadgey catch a lobster with his rod on Saturday at the Rat House!

But won't keep too long (paler wines anyway)

I had gooseberry, strawberry and rhubarb wines from 2013/14 and they had gone like sherry....
 
Just got 23 black bins full of manure from the stables. What's the best way of letting this rot down?
I was thinking of just filling up an open compost bin I have made with pallets. Wold this be OK?
