There are two ways it’s done…. Let’s say a proper way and not. The not proper way: they buy in flavours from flavour house (companies that make flavours for food and bev) and add them to the base spirit. There is no distillation in this method. It’s more common then you’d like to think and not...

Hello all, My 9YO wants to go to the saints school holidays program. Has anyone had any experience with these things? Are they any good? Do they get any time with actual Saints players? We’d be flying up from Tassie for it, so it’s a bit of a commitment. (Sorry this isn’t exactly on topic...

All alcohol for drinking comes from fermentation and all spirits from fermentation then distillation. So gin is still fermented and distilled…. Maybe the best way to think about it is that alcohol for the “gin base spirit” is outsourced to mega distillery plants that can do it to a high standard...

Hey all, I can tidy up a bunch of this discussion on making booze as I’m the head distiller for a pretty well known brand and have been doing it for 15+ years. Firstly, DON’T DISTIL FERMENTED FRUIT JUICE!!!!! Anything with pectin in it produces lots of methanol and it’s how people die or go...

These 3 are my preference pending no sliders…..

I think this is a smart and great initiative. This should dramatically improve the Sandy players, and with better players and training with the saints we should be able to play the same system at Sandy as the saints. More quality people, means better culture which breeds better standards and...

Does anyone know what happened with Ashton Moir? Seemed to be ranked highly at the beginning of the year and has fallen down the rankings.

I think Owans plays as a mid the rest of the year, is that enough?? Clark has played mid for his development. Reflecting as I’m typing, maybe we are/will be doing enough in terms of mid development but just watching ross and crouch around the ball makes it all look gross. I’d personally be...

This discussion kinda goes to a question I’ve got. How would we feel as supporters is we played the kids in the midfield and because of this we missed final? I’m personally fine with it as long as we’re hitting the draft.

Agree to a degree… Midfield still priority no.1. Watching Bing the last few games belting them through from 50+ has made me want him more. He’s looked incredible the last few weeks imo.

Pretty sure it’s impossible but….. saints 2023 + 2024 picks and sweetener for Bing. THEN Do the Whitfield deal. Out - 14 + FF + Membrey In - 4 + Bing + Whitfield What a dream/joke that would be!

I’m all in for the draft and maybe some future second round smokies, like how Steele came to us. But…. I was thinking if we threw the cards in the air and rebuilt the midfield, is there a premiership midfield there?? Is Marshal Steele Owans and Sincs good enough?? (With support from others...

Sooooo, is cordy the only emergency not playing for Sandy?? Tall sub???

Keeler no touches yet, is he on the ground?

When is Ben King a free agent? I’m all about the Bing train, but not at the expense of first rounders going to the draft for the next few years.
