is the glycerine used for e-cigs the same as the other stuff? thinking of getting a litre.. I don't normally bother in my WOW Rose but if i have a glut of it then I may as well use it. buying in smaller volumes seems silly as 1 litre is only £5.50...

excellent - thanks.

sorry for being stupid.. does this sound like a plan? make as per ingredients rack into a dj at desired sweetness (1.000) add campden tablet (no stabiliser) degas transfer immediately into bottles onto sugar leave for 2 weeks decant into a clean bottle off the sediment

thought you had salt with tequila slammers?

Yeh - not fussed if it takes a month tbh.. its the price and the "no sugar to add" that has my attention. Could even experiment and shock some of it early with brandy to make some port.

once it's fermented out how do you go about the rest of the process? do you use fermentation stopper etc...

https://www.creativewinemaking.co.uk/australian-blend-merlot-30-bottle.html they seem to be 7 day all grape juice kits.. no sugar to add. from reading the instructions of this and my beaverdale kit i just put on the difference is this 7 day kit doesnt go through the 2nd fermentation stage..

^^this. I need a blow by blow as I'm quite new...

lol ok.. I'll take it to .990 - I think a fizzy should be dry and crisp tbh anyway. Would brown pet bottles be ok? or swing tops? screw top wine bottles?

ok for my newbiness... ferment out to .995 (.998?) rack it off onto campden (don't add stabiliser) degass it? so it can clear (almost seems counterproductive but wont clear if gassy) add kwik clear when clear.. bottle it onto some sugar (10gm per wine bottle?) and leave for 2 weeks?

i thought the stabiliser killed all the yeast:doh:

maybe I'll just put up with a bit of sediment.. was thinking to minimise it I could, brew a WGJ wow to about 10% - stabilise it and clear it fully with kiwk clear etc.. when clear add priming sugar to bottle and a little yeast? leave for a week or two.

I would prefer not to have a lot of sediment in the bottles.. I have read a few recipes where they are not cleared and primed with sugar but is there a way to minimise sediment? One chap cleared it, put the sugar in the bottles and then just "a few grains" of champagne yeast.

boxes give out before bags imo - just ordered 9 - thanks for the pointer

wonder if seller would be willing to do 250ml of each..

this seems ok for 1litre of each. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272445695877

my garage was 24 today.. lets face it though - summer is probably done now.

yes. and 1 potassium metawhatever 22nd added, potassium metawhatever and Kieselsol 26th added potassium sorbate and Chitosan

see instructions..

stage 3 says if your kit contains 2 kiesol use 1 now and 1 in stage 4, mine only contained 1. in stage 4 it says "if you kit contained 2 add it now" - just me being stupid.. only 1 kiesol required.
