Oh no! bugger. At least you have your custom pain relief.

I am pretty lucky that pest control is an essential service, so get out on the quiet roads frequently. First too jobs were sparrows in food warehouses, so even got to shoot. Weather has been great.

Daughters 3rd birthday today. What a full on day , along with some potty training. Had a cake and my daughter and I decorated it , then she ate a large chunk. Resulting in a sugar high , but not as bad as I was expecting. Managed to get some landscaping done and all in all had a super day ! A 10km ride was in order for me to blow off some steam on my old ten speed.
What did you lads get up too ??

This is my current setup. im using the BBQ to heat the brew. i had a thermostat on it but took it out because the BBQ didnt go down low enough with the heat to make it efficient enough so i am just running it through the still twice to get the same results. its not perfect but it is more than efficient to get the job done.

nice , do you let your mates have a sip of the moonshine ?
 A few mates have tried homebrew and still doing it , I found I didn't have the time but hey , I probably will if this lockdown continues.
Mind you , my wife already nags me I drink too much lol

I will be cranking up the still shortly, did a test run yesterday while im waiting for my 25L of turbo yeast to finish doing its thing. I used up some old grapefruit wine that we experimented with last year, it was pretty bad so i run it through the still and i now have around 500ml of 80% goodness to mix with my coke. Happy times.

You are not wrong dvlnme , Sometimes have to take a deep breath when they are misbehaving and walk away. 
But generally everyone is behaving , Toddlers are lots of fun and energy sapping. Can be very rewarding !
