All I Want For Christmas.......

By now you'll probably be shit sick of Christmas, afterall it is December 19 and it's been Christmas since last fucking October. As you may have guessed I don't like Christmas. I've nothing against being nice to your fellow man, I may not understand why we only have to do it once a year but I suppose that's my issue. What really twists my nipple about Christmas, apart from the shit that's piped onto our television's over the "festive season", and the charity fuckers you meet on the street, and the general air of happiness that pervades society at this time of year,......what was I saying???? Oh yeah, I hate fucking Christmas.

Anyways, like a spoilt child I want something for Christmas, and like an indulgent parent keen on shutting me up I want you to give it to me......or at least help my Christmas wish come through. You see for years I've watched fucking idiots queing up for the January sales (which start of Christmas eve) to buy all sorts of shite like Sandi Thoms greatest hits for 1.99 (usual price 2.19). Well this year wouldn't it be great if a homeless chap queued up outside Budget travel during their annual holiday giveaway. For those of you who don't know Budget Travel is a scanger holiday company that entices idiots to queue for weeks to get the chance to get cheaper holidays in shit locations like Gran Canaira where you can watch the flower of Irish youth being deflowered!! Back to my point, lets face it, the homeless guy is going to be on the street anyway, he can get a buddy to bring him drink/drugs/food etc. And lets face it public urination probably won't be a big deal for them.

Can you just imagine if a homeless fella won a holiday Crete. He could meet up with local homeless folks and get pissed and harangue people in a different country. I would imagine air travel is beyond most homeless people so it would make a nice change.


Some may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, maybe one day you can join me, and world can live as one.


Now fuck off and have a Christmas.

Brew Ha Ha - **Update**

Ok, last night I started the clearing process on my wine. By then I had reached day sixteen (of a fourteen day wine kit) and the specific gravity measured just below 1.000. I was supposed to let it drop between 985 and 995 but as I'm under some amount of pressure I decided the extra couple of days it would take would outweigh the potiental benefits (ie an extra fraction of a percent of alchohol.
So I started by syphoning off the wine into a five gallon bucket.





While doing this I tried to pour from as big a height as I could in order to degass the wine. While the wine is drinkable at this stage it doesn't look very apetising.





I tasted the wine at this stage and I have to say off all the wines I've made this tasted the best at this stage. There is usually a yeasty bouquet and a fairly strong yeasty taste but this one was quite fruity and dare I say it better than some of the muck you'd buy in the shop. I then decanted the wine back into the washed out fermenter.






I added some stabiliser to stop any further fermentation and the sachets of wine finings to clear the wine. I am now under serious pressure to get the wine clear and bottled for Christmas and I'm not 100% sure I'll make the deadline. I plan to decant the wine three more times before I bottle it.
