Our 2027 Brewing Diary and Planner is perfect for planning your brewing year. As an enthusiastic home brewer, the author knows the challenges of keeping track of recipes, ingredients and timings, then remembering what worked (and maybe what didn't) for next year. Many fruits and flowers are seasonal, so planning ahead can make all the difference between an affordable, successful wine and an expensive disappointment. With a little planning, anyone can make the most of fresh, locally available ingredients or even grow their own for the ultimate 'plot to plate' or, rather, 'plot to glass'. And there is little more rewarding than enjoying the fruits of your labours you picked on a warm summer's day... in front of the fire on a chilly winter's evening. Whether making country wines, mead, cider or liqueurs, this practical companion encourages a more organised, creative and rewarding approach to home brewing. The diary/planner is finished with a practical, glossy, wipe-clean cover.
As well as planning and diary entry pages, this book contains seasonal wine recipes for each month of the year including Strawberry, Ginger, Honey Mead, Dandelion Mead, Blackberry Claret and Sparkling Elderflower, together with other traditional recipes like Traditional Cider, Irish Cream Liqueur, Lambswool with Brandy, Sloe Gin and Christmas Pudding Liqueur. The Brewing Diary has over 200 lined pages, with book industry perfect binding. It is printed on high-quality white paper which minimises ink bleed-through and is suitable for pen or pencil.
