It's quite a complicated way of doing things though isn't it? I think I'd probably just chuck it all in a bucket with some boiling water (raisins included) and ferment it for five days then strain the lot to a demijohn.

Strong fruit tea works quite well as well. At least I think it does, it seems to add more flavour than just water at any rate. Although the strawberry tea turned my pineapple wine an interesting colour for a while til it cleared.

Many thanks

What is the recipe please?

Not gonna lie I didn't actually like it that much lol The taste is frankly nothing short of unique, nothing like you would expect. To me it didn't taste like nettles smell and it didn't taste like mint. Worth trying, it's cheap as hell to make so not much of a loss if you find it not to your...

I found a recipe using fresh: https://monicawilde.com/coltsfoot-wine/ So all you need to know is the change in weight from fresh to dried? Assuming the tea is only coltsfoot and not coltsfoot plus tea leaves?

I've made a pineapple wine from tinned pineapples a few times. I fact I have 2 gallons on the go right now lol. This one is 7 x tins 540g pineapple chunks in juice, 250g chopped sultanas, sugar to 2.5kg, no lemon, usual suspects. Pineapple juice was good but because it started in the demijohn...

you gotta peel the back of it

I thought this show was excellent. Watch with a cup of tea, he drinks them all the time lol

We made Stoemp a few months ago for Belgian Day it was excellent. It's like mash with a massive upgrade lol We make normal mash with fried onions and horseradish, mash by itself is very boring.

Thanks man. I've seen recipes with them in and always found it confusing.

What exactly are bramble tips?

We're doing this as well, except we started on the 5th cos that was back to work day. Would quite like a glass of whiskey or wine at this point. (I mean in the evening, I know it's 8am and a BIT early lol) My partners mum got us a velvetiser for christmas, which I've found is an adequate...

Our favourite cheese is Snowdonia Black Bomber. Always buy some at Christmas. And every month, come to think of it.

Ah I use the Happy Homestead guys recipe: Yes there does tend to be quite a lot of sediment and horrible floating stuff lol but once it all clears and sorts itself out it's great.

Gives him a sore arm - can't play tennis....

Merry Christmas all! Ho ho ho!

Perhaps I should have written slightly more than my 5 words.. thanks Chippy Personally I thought Servant if the Bones was quite good as I recall

Anne Rice died RIP

It would be something of a disappointment if the mandatory gin/rum/tonic/madeira/port supplies from M and S couldn't be replenished this Christmas, along with a few bottles of Sancerre. Obviously I have a meagre few gallons (9.5) and pints (35) of other stuff available but there really is no...
