Thanks for that......will get it in the keg this evening.

Hi, I put a cider kit in the fermenting bucket just over 2 weeks ago and went on holiday a week later. Just returned home and cider is still in the fermenting bucket. Will it be ok to put in the keg still or is there something I have to add to it, or have I ruined it? Thanks

Possibly a stupid question. How do I know when the wine is fully degassed? Is it that there will be no bubbles formed whilst stirring?

Just taken gravity reading and it's 0994..............time to degas?

Oooh forgot to say......No chemicals added at transferring stage......

Thanks guys.......I'm UK too, but bought it as a 'carboy' and just got used to calling it a carboy...........I believe the transferring was to get the wine off the ****, but I won't bother with that step next time....... Gravity was down from 1082 to 1008 at the transfer stage, and should now...

Not sure there's pressure in there..........It did foam up in the fermenting bucket but then instructions say to siphon into carboy. There are a few bubbles on the top, but not many. It certainly smells like fermenting wine. I will take a gravity this evening, and invest in a proper bung rather...

I have a 23L carboy/demijohn with my first attempt at wine in there at the moment. It's a kit wine, and spent 8 day in a fermenting bucket before siphoning to carboy. Since being in the carboy there have been very few bubbles, just a few small ones sat on top.......Is this normal? The cap on my...

Hi, I currently have a Wherry conditioning, an Admirals Reserve just gone in the FV and California Connoisseur Pinot Grigio on the go, however, I am looking for a nice refreshing lager for the summer months..........Any suggestions?

Hi, I started my first wine kit about 8 days ago. I haven't really looked at it since I put it in the fermenting bucket, but just went to take a gravity reading and there's a foamy, slightly crusty head on it. Is this normal? Gravity is about 1008 and kit says to siphon into carboy when less...

Hi, first time brewing wine. I've just started brewing a 30 bottle, California Connoisseur, Pinot Grigio kit. Two, possibly stupid questions....... 1. Do I need to go out and buy a wine filter? 2. I have a spare beer keg, and was wondering, rather that bottling could I put the wine in that...

Thanks for your help.

Yes, two days ago. 1014.

I started a Norfolk Wherry kit on 14th Jan and it's still bubbling away 9 days later. Is this normal? Am I to be patient and wait a few more days?

I've bought a wine kit for my first ever attempt at making wine. I read everywhere, that you should siphon the wine into a glass or plastic carboy or demijohn for secondary fermentation. All I have is two 25L fermenting buckets. Will it be ok to use one of these for secondary fermentation? I've...

Hi, I used to do the odd bit of home brew a few years ago, but not had a go for a few years. I've just started a fresh brew today. I've gone for Woodforde's Wherry as I remember enjoying this the last time. If anyone can recommend a beer along the same lines as Wherry. I would appreciate any...
