    Rice raisin wine - what is the purpose of the rice?

    In 'The Bible' (First Steps in Winemaking) CJJ Berry says to add grains for body and in his Rice and Raisin recipe he says to keep the pulp to ferment a lighter wine from, I don't know if that's the one you are using.

    Back to land

    Hi BrewingBob, An alternative that I'm going to try, an old upright fridge or freezer, I can put a shelf in a tall one and it will take two fermenting buckets, add a tubular heater and thermostat, and it should work, I put a heater and an old room stat in our airing cupboard that I built, does...

    Another newbie with another possibly stupid question :)

    As long as it isn't in a draught or your kitchen gets below 16-18 centigrade you should be alright, wrapping a thick towel around it would help at night but if you have an airing cupboard where the temperature is around 20-24 that's what I've found ideal, as for adding a pinch of yeast, I can't...

    WOW-Where best to find the juice?

    I picked up some WGJ in ASDA today (1/10/2014) 4 for £3 and some RGJ in Sainsbury's 3 for £2-50. I did the rounds Lidl have RGJ at 99p a litre, but don't stock WGJ as there's no call for it, ASDA don't stock RGJ as there's no call for that!!! My local Aldi told me that there wasn't any WGJ or...

    Another newbie with another possibly stupid question :)

    When you racked it off you basically took the bulk of the active yeast away, the yeast left is just that left in suspension, as this is wine made from fruit and not just juice there will be more lees but as it is still fermenting it should be OK to ferment to dryness before you rack off. With a...

    Apple Wine- can i use cookers?

    I would imagine that they could be used, but you would probably have to add more sugar, I suppose it depends on whether you are going to use mostly apple juice or supplement it with WGJ concentrate. If you've got a copy of 'The Bible' (First Steps in Winemaking by CJJ Berry) he gives a recipe...

    Newbie with possibly a stupid question

    Hi Gizmo, Apart from the instructions which are quite clear, I would just say that in my experience it takes about 10-12 days to ferment out fully at about 20-22 degrees centigrade, and if after adding finings etc you leave 5+ days, not 3, the white becomes really clear, it does improve with...
