Happy machine

Hello Hivers!
Now I will briefly show you what I did last weekend...

This year was generous and gave us a lot of fruit... It was the turn of the happy machine, which turns those fruits into a happy drink - brandy.
We call it: brandy cauldron or happy machine - ("kazan za rakiju ili veseli stroj").

In the first photos, you can see what he looks like. You can also see around it what is needed for the brandy brewing cycle. There are buckets with water, buckets with fruit, wood, containers...

You can see the buckets containing the plum that have released its juice. And... After a few minutes, the first brandy started to come out.

You can see that we stayed late at night because we had 11 cycles.

Finally, there is the most experienced brandymaker who "talked" to the machine and took care of everything. We managed to learn some new tricks from him...
There is also the cat Mara who oversees the whole situation.

Until next time (and I guess it will be next weekend), I greet you with a glass of new brandy.
