What have done towards your prep?

[Straight Shooter]

Picked most of the remaining apples , I have wrapped them individually in newspaper and laid them in crates in a single layer 40 to a crate I have two crates.....stored in the garage . Racked off the damson wine , I will bottle it off mid November should get 12 bottles .

The cherry,damson and sloe gin will be ready to bottle up end of this month. Going to cure more bacon next couple of weeks …….REMEMBER that pancetta I made up and hung in the brew shed...…...its been hanging there for 18 months (what's it like SS ) don't know ….but I will unveil it tomorrow...…...looks ok .

Put all that western cedar through the thicknesser and cut all the components ready for the new hives just some end milling and router work to do , then assemble them all together ……...I refurbed the sheet metal folder bed some time back so fabricating the roofs should be a doddle .

Going to re'site the emergency generator in the coming weeks (type of steel cage with a roof ) to make better and easy access , so if I kick the bucket …..wild thang can operate it if and when required , although charging points are all set up for various applications WC will have to know what's what …...its just something I have always done , but a fair bit to go through so I will get that done also .
