I have mine bubbling like crazy at the moment and i reckon it'll take another two weeks to finsh fermenting.

The plan then is to filter and clarify it and then bottle it and add blackcurrants from the garden and leave for a few months.

I usually make plum vodka too but its such a large crop of plums i might use some of this grog instead of vodka and see how it goes.:)
