ok cheers, if your near Cardiff you can have them, got around 12.

Got a few of these but are they of any use, does anyone else use them? otherwise il get rid of them and use the larger 500ml bottles.

Hi, This should help viewtopic.php?f=40&t=4956 I just drilled a hole in the top of the bottle and then fitted a grommet like you would use on a car bulkhead or electrical eqpt. not sure of the size but its quite small and then the airlock. So far no problems.

brill nice little job for sat noon. :thumb:

yeah on the wine bottles, bit concerned about the pressure popping them off

will it be ok to use the plastic stoppers?

cheers. didnt quite understand what he was doing with the yeast tho. but i got a gd insight to it.

For the life of me i cannot find the recipe on this site to make cider from cheap apple juice from the supermarket juice. i know ive read it. Do i need to use cider yeast or will wine yeast be ok? what is the difference between the pure juice and the concentrate. cheers.

I have a spare tap for a kingkeg pressure barrel and I was thinking of fitting it to my fermenting bin to make syphoning easier. Any pros/cons? Is there a certain height i should use otherwise the sediment will transfer too.

Does anyone use this filter? i have the old type not the upgraded 2002 model. Basically i bought some demijohns, and some Bits n pieces in which i have aquired this filter. Can I use the later filters with the old type? Does it make a difference to clearing the wine? Any info is greatly appreciated.

And then leave to stand until cleared? Thanks for the info.

There is a shop in Cardiff called BSP pneumatics which can supply through connections, T's, elbows, reducers, and pipe work. We used to use them for repairing trucks, but looking through the net the connections are the same. they are cheaper than bar suppliers and we have used them in the bar i...

The advice given on the label of my youngs wine kit states to agitate the wine at least 6 times in 24hrs after adding the finnings. The instructions on the finnings said to stir well and leave to stand. When they say to agitate is it to give it a good shake or to just give it a stir because i...

yeah it was around 250g sugar from menory, but ive just realised that i havnt added the finnings yet thats tomorrows job so im hoping that will help, ive just added the stabiliser. a camden tablet was used and yeast, plus the kit. Im probably just worried about my first batch.

readings were 1008 consecutively. the instrusctions stated between 1002 and 1004. Alcohol content seems low for a wine, according to hydrometer it would be around 3 or 4%

Im using the youngs medium white wine kit. It stated that fermentation would take between 7 to 20 days but after 6 it seemed as tho fermentation has stopped. i left it for a couple more days now on the 8th day, and the readings have stayed the same, but under what the instructions have...

The Young's kit has been in the pressure barrel for two weeks today so i thought id take a small sample. Very gassy which I was amazed at, and then the taste test. Not too bad, still doesnt taste like a full lager im sure a couple more weeks will be fine. :thumb:

Do any of your friends or family drink wine? Thats what ive started doing, another thing pubs are doing a lot of is using the "glass of wine measure" bottle which it tiny and useless and as i work in a bar this is of no use.
