thats great mate ta is it just a case of leaving it now then and racking it on again in a few months.

Hi guys started this wine off on the 16th april with some leftover plums followed the recipe off here and took my first reading this was 1090 i have just taken a reading of 1020 before putting it into new demijohns what is the alcohol reading likely to be and do i just leave it for a few more...

just a quick question i am due to bottle my coopers lager in a few days and i have quite a few grolsch bottles would these be suitable i dont want them blowing up haha.

time isnt a problem i was thinking the longer i leave it the better so earliest would be christmas and keep a good few bottles back for next year if all is well.

thanks chippy it works out at just under 12 percent any advice on the sharpness should i add more water and glycerine or sugar to demijohns thanks.

i started the wine in june put it in the demijohns but added 50 grams of citric acid by accident i have now transferred into other demijohns and left the crud behind i have a reading of 9.90 the first reading was 10.80 what sort of percentage would it be and also it has a good kick to it but...

thanks as you say fingers crossed job.

ooops that was for the cordial recipe doh, citric acid 50 grams.have i cocked it up or will it be ok.

3kg sugar, elderflower, 500g raisins crushed, 6 lemons and juice and 50gr of acidic acid plus water that Iis it. And i added 3tsp of yeast and 3tsp of yeast extract.

gave it a good stir like said and its up to 1080 is this ok it only started fermenting on Sunday do i need to add any other ingredients thanks fellas.

looks like sale is still on.

just started fermenting now and i have a reading of 1040 is this to low. mark

started a elderflower wine on saturday done a big batch about 14 bottles worth with 3kg of sugar with all the ingredients and then added 3tsp of yeast and 3tsp of yeast extract but still no activity of fermenting yet is this normal. thanks mark
