Wednesday 16th October 2013, 8.20am (day 783)
Made no greater excursion into the outside world than yesterday, and the weather was worse too, with this being perhaps the darkest and gloomiest day I’ve experienced since January. Racking off the blackberry wine was about the most interesting thing that was seen in the day. Ahhh, alcohol. It’s all just the excretions of yeast, you know. Fungus poo, in other words.
Being 42 
I’ve got 3 gallons of the stuff to sort out sometime in the next week. Been racked once but not quite crystal clear yet. Elderberries and yeast have made their introductions and are getting on well.
