Grandfather was for many years identifiable by the white moleskin trousers that he wore. He was a rather large Irish gentleman until the pubs closed, then he would take on all comers for money.

Beat you to what?

I worked out the other day that it would take maybe 250-300 moles to make this

The cost in 1921 equates to about £4,000 today.
And the best price that I have found offered for a single moleskin is 20 pence. skinned and dried.
I'm sure the furrier and silk lining account for some of the surplus cost.
Luckily the local farmers here don't require proof of death,and I can drop them back in the same hole.

I think you lot are really cruel.
Moles are lovely little furry things
with sharp teeth and claws. So
careful how you pick 'em up

Need to make sure they are fresh and not Mole-dy.

Just realised that I forgot to include the cost of yeast in the above.
Another £3 to be added.

Loving mash's cheap brew idea here, considered throwing the four moles caught today in with the trub from the latest neutral and a few bags of sugar.
"Moleshine" appeal to anyone?
See you later in the year for a tasting.

I don't go into any depth on the costing of whatever I brew/still, I think that if I'm anywhere near what you guys do...time wise & cost of raw ingredients....then I'm happy to hit the £2/£3 a bottle...just me..
