We've made these out of old fleece material for the beetroot wine.

Thanks we've found covers on eBay but there quite expensive £10 for 1. Might have ago making some

We're about to try and do beetroot wine. We've no brown demijohns so just wondered if there were any tips? Would taping a black bag to the demijohn work?

I'm trying to wait but my dad's impatient and is going to try one tonight 😂 I've ordered that sweetner and might nip aldi today to buy a carton of apple juice as well

Thanks will have to get them out the cold garage in the morning then lol. We managed to get lots of old grolsch & German swing top bottles that were 500ml. Hoping they turn out ok there quite sour tasting atm. I don't suppose there's any point in opening them and back sweetening now? I was...

So today we bottled up 3 demijohns worth and added 1 & half tablets of Coopers Carbonation Drops hoping it makes it sweeter and more drinkable. Am I right in leaving them for at least 7 days before opening or can they be used once the sugar has dissolved

Thank you, I think they have we've left the ones we got started a week or so ago, these were the first to ferment and they've stopped bubbling. I've put the airlock back in and will leave them another few weeks. I cleaned the airlock on one of the recent ones and the smell inside the demijohn...

Took an SG reading today after I racked 5 demi John's. Not sure if this is ok? I think the original SG reading was 1.040 now it's between 1.010 & 1.005

I've 3 demijohns which look like they've finished fermenting almost 2 weeks there quite clear now so I'm going to take a reading and see if there ready to be bottled up

Thanks I will check it out

I did what you suggested and there going finally now I bought some craft cider Yeast which was different and added 1/4 cup of brewing sugar. I'm wondering if the sugar has made the difference as the guide we followed the chap added sugar but we didn't as we were under the impression the sugar...

The only difference is we didn't add Campden tablets on the newer batch

Big 20l ones going that we did the other day. Still nothing from the one we did over 2 weeks ago,we've pitched new Yeast 4 & 1/2 teaspoons the other day still nothing. Any suggestions?

Still only the 3 delijohns going 🙄

That's the last batch another 20l
