Brewing? Maybe, ramblings? Yes.

Damn water! Well damn the snow and cold weather we’ve been having. A pipe somewhere has frozen over, thankfully not in the house but somewhere. It’s either staying frozen for awhile or has cracked. Not only does that mean we have all the inconvience that you get with no running water for a few days it means I can’t start to brew anything without resorting to buying bottles of water. Not that cider needs much or any water added to it but the first step does, sanitation. I won’t be able to sanitise the demijohns that are carrying my mead until the water starts flowing again.

I might have to break down and buy a gallon of water and haul it back to the house, only having foot powered transport means any large amounts of liquid are a pain in the ass to move.
