I had my free solar panels fitted yesterday. The whole operation only took 3 hours to complete.....just need some sun now :D

I've got some more apple juice and I have also bought some grape concentrate from Wilko's. I'm going to put on some more raspberry and strawberry, and also a couple of blackcurrent and nettle. Thanks for the advice guys :thumb:

The need to ferment and brew is a "sickness", that most of the members have. :D

I bought a box of 20 Strawberry and Raspberry Twinings tea yesterday for £1.36, and after reading the ingredients it also includes Loganberry. I placed 10 teabags into 1.7 litres of boiling water and after 30 mins the flavour and colour was alot better than those jelly cubes which are used to...

It's the same when the nurse pulls out a large needle and says.... slight scratch :shock:

Got it, thanks Moley :thumb:

I've read every post within Moley's excellent Fruit Tea Wine thread and I was just wondering whether it is possible to use the fruit tea bags without the red or white grape juice. Reason being, at the moment there is a real shortage of red and white grape at my local stores. Because nobody in...

I made a Spiced Banana Wine last year and I'm hoping through time the strong flavour of the cloves will subside a bit as it has a real hard taste of Sarsparella.

Are you using a tin of bakers yeast, this yeast really does produce a large amount of foam.

Wines that I make from fresh fruit and berries are put away to age a bit, but I also make quite a lot of wines from fruit juices which are usually ready to drink as soon as they have finished fermenting and clear, between 4 to 6 weeks.

There must be another shortage of White Grape Juice, I could only find White Grape and Peach at Lidl's

It's a sickness.....most people on this forum have it :D I promised my wife that I wouldn't make any more wines and ciders until I have used up some of my bottled brews. Today I couldn't help myself buying 20 litres of Apple Juice from Tesco's for £4.25.
