A Saturday with Thermocouple
If something on this site is wrong, it is probably because we changed our minds since writing it. The longest batch so far took a whole autumn, and we would happily repeat it. There is a point in every batch where it looks wrong, and it is nearly always fine ten minutes later.
On a slow Thursday evening the best plan is to tidy up, sharpen what needs it and leave early. The shelf by the corner shelf holds everything we thought we needed and almost never use.
