Thanks Rob. I guess I'll carry on as planned then and hope it all comes good. Cheers, Matt

What Muntons stuff is this on - the Premium Cellar wine kits? They've definitely disappeared from their website.

Hi All, I've made about 23L of elderflower champagne, which I recently racked off to a 2nd FV. I added some Youngs 'ClearIT' finings (the one in the orange and white box). It seems to have cleared nicely. However, after reading some other posts I'm now panicking that too much yeast will have...

Hi Moley, This is very reassuring - I bought the Shiraz and the Cab Sav during the sale. I've not had a chance to put either on yet as was doing a 'sale' Wherry and then Elderflower Champagne! Plus this heat doesn't make things easy. When I come to make mine, I think I'll just keep to the kit...

Thanks for the replies - very reassuring. So do I have to wait for them so sink, or just take it as it comes when I syphon into secondary? It will have had 2 weeks by then.

Hi all, My Wherry (first brew!) has been in primary since 16th June - so 10 days. The OG was about 1.044 and I took a reading on Monday just gone and it was 1.012 so looking good. I'm going to take another reading tonight to make sure it's finished. For the first 4 days or so it was in an...

There was a girl in our class called Tamara Knight.

Good thinking re the tanning. There'll be some in the grape juice concentrate if I decide to use that. :cheers:

Thanks Callum. So I'll up that to 1 pint per gallon. I'm assuming this is 1 pint of forked-off petals. Any advice on the rest of my recipe?

I'm planning on making a 5 gallon batch of Elderflower Champagne. Two years ago I made a batch but only using the natural yeast on the flowers. It was really nice and clear. However, this time I going to do it with Champagne yeast to get an ABV of about 12%. Taking an influence from the WOW...

So Bob, I've got the Wilko's Syphon tubing. Not sure of the tubing size. Do you know if this bottler would fit? Where does the tubing fit onto the bottler - at the red part? Cheers, Matt

Thanks for your replies. I'll just use the Wilko one then and get on with it tomorrow morning - it is Father's Day after all ... :D Matt

Hi there, I'm about to start off my half price Wherry tomorrow so I'm calibrating my FV to be able to gauge 21 liters. My question is about the yeast. I've read that the sachet that comes with the kit (6g) is not really sufficient and can get stuck. So I bought a pack of Wilko Gervin yeast...

Hi all, After all the help from the kind and knowledgeable people on this forum I have bottled my first batch of WOW wine. :cheers: It was made using apple juice rather than orange and started 1 month ago. I'm very impressed with what can be achieved with so little! 5 Bottles - the 6th...

Thanks for that Graysalchemy. So I may pop back and get some red concentrate. Do they contain sugar to factor in to calculations, or would I just rely on my hydrometer readings? Matt

Just noticed a comment on the UK Hot Deals post about this that it's on until the 11th.

Hi all, With the 50% offers on in Wilkos can someone explain the difference between Grape Juice Concentrate and the White/Red Grape Juice cartons from supermarkets? I was going to get the concentrates today at lunchtime but then panicked as I couldn't see any sugar details on it or anything...

Isn't fermented grass ... silage? And silage effluent is ... :sick:

This is great. Just been in-store to get a few bits. Now off to read the kit reviews before taking the plunge. Any recommendations?

Are these reductions in store too?
