Welcome aboard Alfred.  The weather should be warming up by April.  Don't know if there are any other folk from Switzerland on here (not that I know of).  Well done with the NIE's.  Sounds like it was easier than getting them here. The brewing sounds interesting !! Just shout if you want any help or opinions (which will be varied)  ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome!
There's a bunch of Swiss living in Ampolla; assume they're not to be found on this forum because of the language barrier. It's a distinct advantage to possess English skills good enough to understand some of the quirky expressions and word play of native English speaking folks no matter where they come from. ;)
