Newbie wine maker

[Jojow]

Once bottled give it a try if it's a bit harsh give it a couple of weeks and try again, there is no exact time for anything home brew.

Thankyou so much , I’ll let you how good or bad it tastes, it didn’t taste too bad at minute , hoping for Xmas wine

I'm too tight to waste wine taking trial jars and far too lazy.
I just let it ferment out till no bubbles then leave it another week

Waste?! Don’t you pour it back in after you’ve taken a gravity reading?

I have been doing the same for years

If you are using an FV you can put the Hydrometer in and leave it in which saves taking samples out.

In the past probably on the og then maybe drank it at fg.
After my lager mistake last weekend i did take a sample and pour it back in.
I might make it a habit of taking samples in future.
I think the main worry for me has been the less messing about with it the less chance of infection.

Look what I made all by myself tastes good too

I bought some of those shrink wrap tops 10yrs ago they are still unopened.
Brings home again the value of a nicely presented bottle.

Excellent presentation Jojow
