I bottled this last night, and it is pretty smooth , but will certainly benefit from keeping. I will take the advice to brew the next one short. One question though. If I brew the next kit to 20 litre instead of 23, do I use less sugar? These kits require 3.5 kg of sugar when full brewed.

Yes, I will do that. I do itwith beer kits and it works. I will leave it be,as you suggest. Many thanks.

Right then. Just fermented a Wilko Spicy Cab Sav,cleared and racked. Stirred it to clear the CO2.My Wife and me are rather impressed at it's initial smoothness! The only downside is the lack of body, is there any way to remedy this? Or should I just not prat about with it?

Same as you Brewbob. I used to do this one years ago. Did the job! Now ,I have come back to brewing just recently, and a lot of gear and brand names are new. Geordie is still there though. I bought a Bitter kit, just for old-times sake. I shall brew it short(I always used to, but 'short' is a...

Brilliant! Thankyou for that. I just learned something there. You just told me what I need to know. Thanks again. Love this place. Cheers :cheers:

So,to recap, add the GJ and Campden tablets. This is a 30 bottle kit. How many Campden tablets would you add? Sorry to sound dopey, but I am back to the brewing game after a ten year gap!

I have used the stabiliser that came with the kit, does it need to be done again? And where do the Campden tablets fit in, please?

I have brewed a Wilko Spicy Cab. It has gone well, I have cleared and racked it. It tastes ok,and will need more time,but... It is VERY dry. I read somewhere here that it is ok to add red grape juice to round it out. I like a dry wine, but this does need slightly tweaking I think. Comments and...

I had a Fiat Stilo. Italian,same company it seems. Same problems. Cost a fortune in 'repairs'. Got rid and bought a Vauxhall. Passed every time !

Good tohear that Landrover owners are happy. My Brother is in the car biz. He reckons the Landy is called Discovery as it takes two weeks to "Discover" it is a fuel-hog and a mechanics dream-always in the garage! But then I never owned one.

Good idea. It could work. However... I am a Butchery Manager, and like us, you WILL have to complywith Food Safety Act (Amendment 1991).You will also have to qualify in Basic Food Handling. Also you will have to have a HACCP system in place(hazard analysis and critical control point system),also...

They were my thoughts about screwtops. Thankyou(all).

So. Let me get this straight. Can I cork a bottle with a screw threaded neck?

Fantastic! Just as I thought. Thanks chaps. I notice Wilkos has plastic topped corks-anyone used them?

Simple question. Do any of you re-use screw tops?

It has to be the higher price for at least 28 days prior to a cut/ BOGOF. LAW. I work in retail BTW. I think it is very cynical of the supermarkets, and everyone knows they do it!

Just found the how-to. Gotta get me some of that on the go! :D

Worzel orange wine-new one on me that!

I am new here-so please be gentle! I keep seeing the acronym WOW. Could you tell me what that means please? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the welcome! :D
