Hi all, can you help? Does quikclear clear hazy wine as well as solids? Should pectolase be added to all wines, and at what stage? Can you mix yeasts, and when bottling should it still smell of yeast? At what time do you take your first sg reading, prior to adding yeast? Thanks

Thankyou very helpful.

Lucky I'm a nurse! Syringes galore! Lol

It is from a kit, I haven't yet learnt about grain and hops etc

The bottles were brand new, cleaned them with fresh water and sterilizing tablet, not soap. Glasses are from me dishwasher. Now creamy head appears but carbonation is present. Bottled about 3 weeks ago.

Evening all, excuse the smutty pun, but how do I get a good head on home brew beer? I've just finished my 2nd batch and as I'm a newbie I only put half a teaspoon of sugar in some bottles in order to see the difference. I have the Grolsch style bottles, they make a satisfying pop when opened...

I've started this wine last night and its bubbling very well indeed, could any member who have made this wine let me know how it turned out?

Today I'm chuffed to bits, just bought 4 x oak wine racks, holding a total 184 bottles for £2.50 each! Anyone else catch a bargin?

So, do you only need to ferment using a bucket if solids are present, such as grapes? I ask because I've just thrown supermarket apple juice into DJ's with yeast and off it popped, bubbling like a trouper.

Hi all, just getting into wine making and home brew beers, and now have a question. Why do we let the wine berries/fruit etc start fermentation in an open bucket before transferring to a DJ? Is this necessary for all wines?

Scum indeed, hate this kind if news!!!!! Grrrrr

I'm in the process of making plain rhubarb wine, I used a juice making machine at the start. Its still in the DJ's and i used a champagne yeast; fingers crossed it'll be alright when bottled and left a while.
