Disaster!

I went to turn my sloe vodka demijohns yesterday (i have two, looking very fruity and promising). I picked up one, and the bottom fell out of it! Sloes and Â£15 worth of rosy vodka all over the garage, under storage shelves, everywhere.

It must have got knocked I suppose.

So I am looking after my remaining demijohn very carefully. Bit gutted though!

awwww...i feel your pain!! I had a demijohn of Orange and Mango wine going, and it was smelling great and looking good until i moved the demijohn, it hit a bump on the floor and cracked right across the bottom!!

So at least you can get half drunk!!

I am feeling your not-tipsy-enough pain.

I'm always saying this... 'but please excuse my ignorance'

!

...but what is a demijohn?
...and if it's something really important in the whole process of making a brew - what can I use instead? Whatever it is, I doubt I'll find it that easily in SA considering that I don't know what it is!
