Returning to the fold after more than 10 years hello

[jordibird]

Hi,
I'm a bona fide Geordie lass who used to watch her Dad brew his own beer when I was knee high to a stotty cake. This led to me making my own wine after I found an old book in a second hand shop. Country Wine recipes brilliant, it led to vast amounts of dandelion. elderflower & berry, potato, rice, tea etc. However a new house and child eventually stopped the production line and all the equipment was idle and either thrown out or lost.
But now I have decided to make a come back I miss the fun and like not having to pay extortionate prices for a bottle of vino

So hello and I hope I don't make an ass of myself

Hi and welcome back to the greatest hobby in the world.

Hi J,& Welcome

 

[PD]

welcome back to the hobby and a warm welcome to the forum.
Wine making hasn't changed much, you can still make great cheap wines from out of the hedgerow. The kits have improved ( like beers ) but so have the prices.
Fruit juice wines are still cheap and the " tea bag " wines can grace any occasion.
The basics of wine making have not altered and I'm sure you will have no problems getting back into habit.
Good luck.
