Thought it was just me that woodfordes get stuck

Get in your neighbours recycle bins for screw top wine bottles, great wine kit too

We had rhubarb for tea the other week, we took all the rhubarb out and I used the liquid in 4ltrs of apple juice and its finished now, taste dry so gonna add splender and bottle

hi all could you give me some advice on dried fruit, it seems every packet you look at as oil added to stop them sticking together doe's this make them unusable for wine making.:)

my mrs loves coopers stout

cheers mate think I posted in the wrong one, sorry

hi, does anyone use them plastic stoppers when they bottle there wine, if so are the any good

in use lidl one

Sounds ok, why not try half a dozen just as a test.

I don't use a lid just a clean towel over my FV. never had a problem.

The trick to bottle cleaning is to wash in hot water after use, then they only need a sanitise before bottling, and store them dry in boxes between use. this is what i do and it works every time.

well thanks for an answer, just so happens its only happening with the screw thread bottles, so maybe theyre a bit wider.

Hi all. don't usually post in the wine section but here goes. don't know if im doing something wrong when bottling but some of my corks pop out of the bottle when corking. anyone know why, does it happen to anyone else and what's the answer.

Not sure you need a heat belt this time of year, it could ferment too fast once it starts.

I bought 4 coopers kits 1 of there own 3kg kits 10 gervin ale yeast a vinbright filter and extra filters £50. bargain :cheers:
