Regular.
I've just degassed and stabilized my first ever WOW, and it tastes amazing already (had a sip of the test jar when taking SG), and is a deep deep red!
Recipe below..
P.S. Thanks to Richards red, and @Vinotinto - I don't know how to tag a member so they see this.
x8 litres of RGJ, asda del Simon ã8
x2 bottles of wilkos grape concentrate ã6
x2 tsp glycerine
x2 tsp pectolase
x2 squeezed fresh lemons
x6 teabags brewed in 1L water
x2 tsp nutrient
x1 sachet youngs bergundy yeast ã1
x2 l boiled water, disolving 1kg sugar 50p
started 12/11 , SG = 1.104
Went crackers and frothed over my bucket, lid sat on loose, no airlock.
19/11 - pushed lid firmly home, and added airlock to bucket. No bubbling to speak off, so think it had finished by then. Left for 1 further week.
26/11 - been busy, and wanting yeast to clean up - racked to x2 DJ's and a x2 litre PET bottle. SG = 0.990
I racked onto wilko stabilizer, which already contains Campden tablets in it.
Added 2ml Wilko finings pack A, and 10ml pack B to each DJ. Chucked the rest, as I couldn't fine kwik clear. Within hours I can see it working.
Stuck in me garage @ 9 degrees to clear.
Will bottle and start drinking next Saturday.
For not much over a quid a bottle, this looks promising..
I'm going to do a controlled test, smaller batch just 1 gallon, and leave out the wilko RGC to see what happens.
