what wines & beers have you got maturing

[oldbloke]

Realised last night that I don't have any wine fermenting (can't really count the experimental coffee one as that's intended to reach sillyABV).
So I did a quick stock check
Drink:fermenting/aging-or-conditioning/ready
Cider:16/16/20 (pints)
Perry:0/0/6 (pints)
Ale:0/16/1 (pints) [-/sorghum/millet]
Mead:4.5/0/3.5 (litres)
Wine:0/6/73 (bottles) All sorts: plum, mixed berries, parsnip, carrot...
Should last until I've made some more wine. Phew.

3 hours

 

[wildbrew]

for the first time i have started a BETTER BREW CZECH PILSNER 2.1Kg kit
I have just read the info on the packet and found out it takes 14 days for the fermentation to
finish
Mind you at only £12.39 per kit,i do not mind waiting for the slow acting yeast :hat: to better brew for a cheap 2.1kg kit. :thumb:

 

[stevie1556]

For only brewing a month I've got quite a healthy stash growing.

I've got 1 DJ of each:
Solomon Grundy peach wine - to be bottled next week
Solomon Grundy strawberry wine - to be bottled next week
WOW orange wine - to be bottled next week
WOW apple and mango wine - clearing
Ribena wine - fermenting
Strawberry Ribena wine - fermenting
Cherry wine - fermenting
Raspberry wine - fermenting

Can't even begin to describe how happy I was when I found this forum!

Next week when I get stone spare DJs after putting 3 wines into bottles, I'm planning a pineapple WOW, possibly blueberry wine if I can fine the juice and maybe a toffee apple turbo cider or red wine. Still undecided yet though

 

[Gayle]

My stash is rather small compared to others, but it's managable!

In the demi's I've got mead, pear cider, random cider that's meant to have pomegranate in it but it tastes pretty rank as yet, and raspberryade. The bottles are the 40pt Finlandia cider kit I bottled yesterday, they'll sit there for a week or so then go out to the shed with the rest of the stash.

Wildbrew, is the 5Alive wine nice? The juice on offer in a local shop and you've given me the inspiration to try it! Also, are you supplying larger to your entire village? :mrgreen:
