Brouwland was a sad loss after brexit. I used to use them a lot.

Nope. Just like a supermarket bottle. Same as beer really. Key thing is never leave wine with an air gap after fermentation. So DJ must be full. You may find to gather a lot of various sized DJ & larger bottles for this reason.

So a dose of hardener and some vitamins then!

Quick thoughts. Dunee bang corks into screw top bottles. They are not built the same as a Corked bottle. Please, please, don't use campden tablets. It will make your wine taste like homebrew. Hunt down some potassium metabisulphite. Add at 8g per 50l. It will make a stunning difference. Air...

AHA meeting where you learned that? 😁 (amateur heathen association)

And fill there heads with utter cobblers for free 🤣🤣

Ooo. Everyday is a school day. I might have another go. But is it worth a read?

Should be OK.

Isolate and then flush it (chuck away the first running)

Over the pond homebrew perceived as "quality" & "handmade" In the uk its "let's get pizzed cheap" That doesn't help.

Spoof

That's just showing off 🤣. I have no idea where one is, let alone joining it 😱😱😱

Only if the newb, has a short term view. My BM20, was expensive. But has more than paid for itself. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned understanding money. 😁

Further.. Winemakers will leave wine on the 'lees' (yeast trub) for ages. Further 'le bâtonnage' is a method of stiring them in back in for a protracted amount of time. Makes a few days during primary, look positively amateur 🤣🤣

Me too... All of it. And I measure it in pounds 🤣🤣 It not only ferments quick bit clears well too.
