idiot proof

[matty198111]

i was just wandering if any of you guys would have an idiot proof/ simple way to make wine

or do you happen to know of any good videos that would explain to a complete novice how its done

i know its probally been asked before but i cant seem to find anything on here about it

You cant go wrong with this the IPA is nice to taste and easy to make,it takes about 6 weeks to mature in the bottles or cask once its been fermented.
Muntons premium IPA is probably even easier two tins a bit of hot water 19litres of cold water in a bucket add the yeast that comes with the kit and you off.Just follow the instruction on the back of the box you.Tastes better than some of the rubbish i drank last time i went to the pub,you can drink 5 or 6 pints and suffer no ill effects the next morning at all.Simples

Good luck Graham

bit confused thought you were asking about wine in the first post.

for wine search the posts here worsels sp?, wow or supermarket wines

for beer kits the instructions are generally very good

all the ingredients for a gallon for under a fiver.

First time around it's going to cost you more because you've got to buy pots of pectolase, Campden tablets, sorbate (stabiliser), yeast nutrient etc., but those are good for several gallons so it should average out around 40-45p a bottle at 12-14% abv :

That's an absolute bargain in my book. You would be luck to buy one let alone a couple of descent bottles of wine from a super market for the set up price.

Cheers Graham.

The brill part is that if it's made properly (and we'll give you all the help you need) and given a month or two to mellow, I would say it's as good as or better than any £5 bottle of plonk from the supermarket. That's not just my opinion, my friends, neighbours and w**kmates have said so too.

Moley is the Man on this subject follow his advice on this and you won't go wrong.
Cheers Graham.

Another recomendation for WOW.
I just passed off a bottle of WOW as comercial white wine by simply decanting it into a clean wine bottle before serving.
