Just put 2 gallons of apple wine under the stair for part 1 fermentation.
And my 1st batch of blackberry whisky is sitting underneath the sink."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

At the same time I was making up 2 x 40 pints for Xmas as well. One lot is now bottled, the other is going in a barrel.
But since I'm going to be on a cruise in the sunshine over Xmas & New Year drinking cocktails, I'll have the ale to come home to.

I take it this brewing malarkey a)needs a warmish room, so you need to set aside a whole room because it b)stinks a bit?
