You can keep gin and spirits for a long time but the flavour definitely won’t improve after 7 years. Wines, some dark beers, whiskies etc will. |

Have a ginger plant fermenting ready to make some batches of ginger beer..
Need to remember to release the gas pressure regularly so the bottles don't explode this year..
It made quite a mess last time.  |
