I was reading today in the paper that thousands of pubs, cafes, restaurants and independent retailers across the UK have closed for good. Seems like a lot gave it a good bash during the summer to try and save things, but with constant opening one week, closed the next it got to much...

Didn’t see that coming eh. Cant believe sturgeon closed the border and also no return to schools after Xmas. Really didn’t see this round the corner... It seems like we gain ground ie the lower rates in summer and then a vaccine- just when your feeling like there is light at the end of the...

This is the 3rd kit I have done since October, so getting the hang of it quite good now. The starter kit I got came with the choice from the premium range which is 5litre of grape juice for 23ltr, it chose the merlot then realised that whites might turn out better. The merlot I have to say was...

I understand why they have had to have some and I must reiterate “some” restrictions.. But at the same time I think it’s all quite bonkers that people have given up their Liberty so easily and the restrictions have been all over the place and not made a lot of sense Personally we don’t have a...

I use a flight case! You can get a cable trunk case quite cheap new from Swan flight or on eBay. The case is on wheels so off the floor and I use bubble wrap inside. Also I can lock the the case tight. Anyways I get 2 x 11litre car boys and 2x 5lts in one case. You can then use the case as table...

Yeah I’m working on that with my brother. He just hasn’t enough space right now.

Yeah that’s the way it’s going here. I definitely had a idea about giving out wine to the whole of Glasgow for Xmas. But no chance now- with wastage and also wanting to age at least half a batch then sorry but the other 10 litres shall be for myself. I employ a few guys and made up a juice wine...

I have stopped after the first batch 😉

I think there is some confusion with VAT and the whole EU thang! It’s actually going to be easier for myself now due to brexit as I won’t have to complete a HMRC EU vat form every quarter detailing who I supplied services to within the eu and their vat numbers. It’s going to be the same as the...

I do think that Thatcher and Regan especially learned a lot from Rand and Hayek.. I can’t honestly answer about section 28 but she wasn’t one for discrimination- it was all down to people being individuals at the end of the day. No religion, no slaves to others she especially hated racism, bare...

Social libertarian- hmm. To be fair I was brought up socialist by left family, but I’m a true believer in that free market capitalism is the only system that can take you from being poor into being wealthy. I love the works of Ayn rand and believe that thatcher was the greatest prime minister...

Well said! I took up running back in March as the gym was closed down and absolutely love it. The missus has done many marathons over the years and if I’m honest I didn’t really like the runner types, thought they all took it to serious so stuck to the weights. But honestly just get up early and...

Any recommendations for juice from Lidl? They have just opened a brand new massive store across from me. Went in and obviously headed straight for the juice isle. No grape juice but loads of other others. Any ingredients I should be looking to avoids?

Made 23 litres with: 10 litre Asda RGJ 5 litre princess Apple juice. Didn’t add tanning, just 2.5kilo of sugar and water. youngs yeast and yeast nutrient, Pectolase, Camden tables. It’s been finished now for about a week and half. Tastes very potent indeed. But damn it’s nice! Although iv only...

Not half! Absolutely Baltic today ah have to say.

Thanks chippy. Yeah that’s actually how I came across the forum was a google search on supermarket juice wine. Made 23ltr the other week with Asda red grape juice, princess apple juice etc. It’s turned out not to bad, but potent though. But workmates love it. 👍

Hi everyone. Been getting fantastic knowledge from the forum, so thought id join and stop just being a spook. Currently doing wines mostly as that’s why I prefer to drink at home.
