Lucky you, slightly jealous. When all this s**t has died down im off to the Rainbow in LA to visit his statue.

Hello again, these little grapes do have pips in em. Just bought some blackberry grape juice to hopefully add to the juice i get from these little bleeders. going to be difficult to remove every pip from these blighters so may just have to throw the lot in and then strain off on the first rack...

Good morning, thanks for your input on this. I will go and get some red grape juice to make up the quantity later. I was going to put what grapes i have into a juicer to extract all the juices but im not sure if this is the correct way to go? With you saying leave the skins on im not entirely...

The amount is only 2.5 pounds not 21 Thats why i asked is this a sufficient amount to make a demi john full?

Good evening, I have just been given approx 2 1/2 pounds of black grapes. Is this amount enough to make a demi john of wine? If so is there a decent recipe to make this? Thanks Craig

is this to be used instead or as well as the grape juice? And thanks for the pic Chippy, a big help.

Hello everyone. Just bought the above book to try my hand at making wine from scratch. Can I ask a possible daft question. In the majority of his recipes he always says Yeast and nutrient. But never mentions quantity. Looking at the yeast I have it says add 1 heaped tsp to 1 gallon. Which...

Many thanks for your advice. I have 4x 25 litre buckets for my other wine and 2x demi John's. I'm assuming the 2 demis will equate to 2 gallons? That's the max I can do at present.

Thanks for that recipe. I'm assuming divide your recipe by 3 for 1 demi John? Also will 4litrs and 250ml with everything else for into 1 demi? Thanks Craig

Good morning all, Is there anyone here who has made Elderberry wine either from a kit or 'natural'. If so could you please let me know the process as ive only ever made the supermarket turbo wine and wine from wine kits. Tried taking a look online but i can only find Elderflower which ive been...

The last one i did was actually really nice, i used apple juice and red grape juice and added some blackcurrant juice to the Dj when it had finished fermentation. I guess its all an experiment to find the end result that works. Thanks for your post danmac.

Many thanks for the help, much appreciated..

Hello everyone, Ive just made my first demi of turbo cider and i have to say its not bad at all. Ive let my sons have a try as they drink cider and confirm its not bad (coming from them its a compliment). The asked a question though which i dont know the answer to, they both asked what strength...

Good morning, i am currently in the process (day 5) of my first batch of TC in a Demi John, the fermentation is going really well as the contents have come through the airlock, which to me shows the yeast is working well. My question is now one of what do i do next once this process has...

you've been a great help Barley, thanks.

thanks for that, so basically, i use the dj to ferment then transfer to PEP bottles to clear and finish off?

Chippy, one quick question if you know the answer. Hello again, one quick question, ive made Wine before in DJ's, and once fermentation has finished ive used stabiliser and finings to clear the stock. Do i use the same stabiliser and finings on cider too? Thanks

Thats ideally in the green bar section of the hydro, so dont really need to read the numbers to harshly

Yeah ive read anything like 1.04 - 1.00 is ideal

That doesnt register with me now, i think im being really dumb here. 17g/l = 1% ABV. So the juice sugar content alone is approx 520 g /4.5 l, that equates to 115?
