Trying out teddy's fast ferment to see if i can squeak in some drinky drinky for NYE.

The house smells like the pillsbury doughboy's taint rn, i'm not gonna lie. But fuck me that name is not a misdirection

Sounds like fantastic fun. I love the crazed lava lamp stage. I'd put something on but don't have a bottle stash since we moved.

Given we're in the silly season, i reckon if you put a wash on now you'd have plenty of bottles by the time it comes to distill :P

Life of Boris has a few simple recipes. One beer uses a special ~~still~~ pressurised metal container but the others need much less equipment

Tbh you don't need a multivit, just B complex

Edit: 4am tyypo
