Could i ask what it is made of. Thanks.

Could anyone please tell me if you can put apples or apple juice in with a turbo yeast to give it a cider taste. Could any one tell me if i could keep a turbo yeast brew, after all fermentation is complete in demijohns with rubber bung in the top or would it go off? Thanks for any replies.

Thanks a bundle chippy, i cant go wrong now, the pictures make it much easier to get the right ones, thanks again for a great post. :-P

Thanks simon and thanks chippy i am sorry i am late replying, i have been more than a tad busy, could anyone recommend some juice that would be better than this? Although as long as it will ferment i am going to use it up no matter what. Perhaps i might add something different to it to make it...

Hi all, i just bought some Del Rivo Apple and Raspberry juice drink and i wonder if i have got the right stuff. Below are the ingredients of the carton, could anyone tell me if it is ok for making wine. Thanks for any replies. Water, fruit juices from concentrate 26%, apple 21%, raspberry...

Thanks Simon, your advice is truly appreciated.

Thanks Simon, the stabilizer, would that be a Campden tablet? And if so, is it one tablet per gallon?

Thanks for the reply bp, The fermentation started at near enough 50, unless i misread it, but i am pretty sure it was 50. The temperature is kind of hard to say, it was 64 when i popped the yeast in but after one day, i could see no froth on the top, only floating fruit, so then i wrapped it in...

I used a general purpose yeast for red wine, so it is probably ok then. Thanks Simon.

This is the one that i am just doing, whether its any good or not i cant say, but it does say easy wine to do. I have chucked in a bit more stuff in actual fact, i chucked in some sultanas and some ginger, pot luck is what i should call this brew. I hame its ok to put the link in, if its not, i...

Hi all, I have just checked my blackberry and apple wine, i kicked it off just two days ago, there are two gallons in one bucket plus all the fruit. It appears to have fermented out in just two days, I have tested it with the hydrometer and it is right down to the black mark is that all right...

Thanks Fil, i'll crack on with it. Another problem has occurred, i have put the lemon juice in too soon, i put it in with the apples and berries instead of at the same time as the yeast. Could you tell me if i should add more lemon juice with the yeast or will it be ok as it is? Thanks again.

so to make apple/ginger/blackcurrent liquer 20%-60% proof you would add concentrated cordials or boilled down to syrup juice, and dilute the pure spirit to the level you want after flavoring but that's not what your after, my mistake.. Could you tell me where I would get boiled down to...

Hi all, could anyone tell be me how to sweeten a black berry and apple wine and at which part of the brewing process part do i sweeten it. Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for the reply Fil, I was looking to make a fruit flavored cider by using Blackberries, cooking apples and ginger, if that is possible, the turbo yeast i have is alcotec 48 dual purpose. I priced the essences and they were in my opinion too expensive, if i could find essences at the right...

Could i put it another way then, would anyone know if it is possible to prepare blackberry and apples as you would for making wine and add them to the turbo mix along with the sugar and water? Would the turbo yeast convert the fruit along with the sugar? Any info would be very welcome, thanks.

Hi, i have just made my third blackberry wine, i was just about to syphon it out of the FV in to a demijon but the smell of it is vile, it smells exactly like bostic rubber glue. Obviously i will sling it, but i wonder if any one knows what caused the problem? Oh and all the blackberries are...

Thanks a million Just, i will be buying that book quick sharp. :-)
