When herbs go wild ! - Observations from the garden
Our herb beds are massively overgrown, we have parsley gone to seed, which we will collect if we are able, marjoram, thyme and rosemary plants. These are growing fine but may need a little trim back, we need to trim the thyme back with a gentle hand but with the others we can prune back a little harder.

After a long day making space we are planning to start taking the building down next week. Today however we had some barrels to decant....
2 years ago I make Real American moonshine, made in Spain, in French oak barrels, on a Russian still, via a English parrot with my 6 month old son Logen we put it in 3 15 litre oak barrels.
Oak gives age as well as flavour take 3 to 4 years in a standard 200L barrel, 15L barrels will take from 12 to 17 months this is due to the surface area. So Logen`s Run is now over 5 years old.
The ageing come from the ethanol evaporating 2.4% from the barrel every year call the angles share this means that the % of the ethanol will also drop a little. we barrelled at 47.5% and 55% 71.25 and 82.5 UK proof or 95 and 110 USA proof after the angles had there bit we are got just over 23 lts.
I don't drink so if your on our way back to the UK and would like to try let us know we try and drop you some off the rest will be on the bar at my wedding along with a few other bits I got around the place.
