I always filter mine after fining so never had an issue to be honest

Add me too please

I use a large wide plastic fv, the same wand as shown and a variable speed drill. Forward and reverse for a minute or 2 and job done.

Good luck with the release.....sounds great

I make Solomon Grundy platinum all the time and always comes out at around 995 or lower. I think if I were you I would invest in a second hydrometer as after chippy_tea's questions and your answers that would likely be the cause unless the temperature in the fermentation room fluctuates. I use...

Hi Guys would love the HET-F001 folding thermometer please

Kenridge kits do need time to mature and are great for reds. I prefer the cheaper kits around the £30 mark for whites and rose wines as they are ready to quaff much sooner.Solomon Grundy is my current go to for pinot and rose. California Connoisseur merlot is a pretty good quicker drinking red...

I am with Chippy_Tea on that one. What an arogant baxxxxd. The builders bucket and aquarium heater will keep the temp controlled. Think a heatpad is just a constant heat so not sure how accurate. The main thing is you have succesfully made some wine and as you progress you may want to look at...

I like the Cabernet/shiraz as well....California connoisseur is my go to for merlot which i make mainly for friends. Agree with Drunkuler that whites and rose are more forgiving. Enjoy

Nice one.. I am glad you are pleased enjoy. There are plenty of great reviews on the site for future attempts. clapa

Good luck and hope all goes well

Hope it turns out well

HI and welcome. I make a lot of wine from kits and find for my taste i spend around the £30 mark for whites and rose and more on reds. I find the cheaper reds are a bit like alchoholic ribena. My advice is go for it and enjoy. I have never done anything completely undrinkable. As you have said...

I always use tap water but i live in Scotland and the water is excellent. With white and rose wines i always ferment right out and then back sweeten with up to 15gms of normal sugar syrup. Before the sweetening process the whites can taste very acidy if that is a word. Sorry if i am preaching to...

Such complications :?: Central shelf is solid but has large gap at the back as well as the front so air movement should be fine cheers...another glass of wine needed :cheers3:

Thanks for all you replies and based on all the info i have decided to do the following. I scavenged a pc fan out of an old broken pc. I have a 12v adapter which i use for a pump. I found some 12v connectors on ebay for a couple of quid so i will adapt the supply to be able to work both as they...

Thanks My previous set up was the same with an undercounter fridge but without the fan.It is just the new tall fridge which needs some help moving the air around. Thanks for the post

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply...much appreciated. Off to dismantle and old pc and laptop to see if the fans will be useable

Thanks Beercat but i already have inkbird and bar heater from previous small fridge so just need to adapt a bit

Perfect thanks for the reply i wondered about 2 fans running off one supply but obviously ok
