Thanks! Thats really helpful. It means all my DJ's can all be put to good use without worrying.

I actually found a recipe in my 'Making Wild Wines and Meads' book so I'll post it here for you tonight. I hope its nice! Now I just need to find some cheap honey!

Hi Has anyone got a recipe for rosehip mead? I have a bag of rosehips and a spare FV so I'd like to have a bash at some mead. Fanks! :cheers:

After a few hit and misses in my home brew adventures I thought I'd share my most recent success. This forum pointed me in the direction of this recipe - http://www.winesathome.co.uk/forum/show ... php?t=1614 I bottled it two weeks ago and I have to say it is absolutely luvverly! Very impressed...

Morning all! I've done a few searches on the internet and this forum but haven't been able to find an answer. Hopefully someone can help! I'm wondering if there is a way to determine the alcohol % in my Youngs Black Cherry. I only added the 450g of sugar specified though I dont know what the...

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie to the homebrew world, so far I have completed a Youngs Black Cherry (which was luvverly) and currently have another three bubbling away - Mondego medium white, Youngs Peach and Youngs Strawberry. I've spent the last week reading all about everyones WOW cococtions...
