Haven't been online much for a while as I've moved house and haven't really got much space to brew, hence the reduction in the amount of DJs that I need. I have 7 clear and 2 brown ones looking for £30 for all of them. I live in Bishops Stortford for collection.

Sorry to hear this. Just remember that your long term health is more important then a career no matter how much you love it. But only you can make that decision, as you know what will mean the most to you. I've got a split cartilage in my right knee, but because of where the tear is, it plays...

Congrats bud! :thumb:

I prefer using screw cap bottles over the cork ones. So much easier and quicker.

Maybe a bugger to wash it out after though. Get a 5 litre water bottle from Tescos and use that, will probably be a lot easier in the long run.

I tried making it last year. After spending ages grating all the pumpkins, I left them in the fridge for too long and went mouldly! I'm planning on trying again this year though. I think you should fill the spare bucket up with pumpkin..... :thumb:

Give it 2 months to mature in bulk though and it's one of the best wines I've even drunk!

It's probably not this site she thinks you're on....... (thumb)

Could send her the bill, but as we work together I'm trying to keep it as amicable as possible, especially as a large portion of people where I work are like gossiping school kids! She loved tidying up the house, and when she was sorting stuff out, she probably assumed they were mouldy or...

I'm hoping it has! Just leaving it to settle for a bit in the garage first.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Unfortunately, just picked up the remaining bits of my stuff, the 2 cider buckets are now in the back of the van, but the wines had already been thrown away before I got there. I was planning on replacing the screw caps with the airlocks in them for solid ones...

I started off with corks, went to screw caps though. Just find them much easier and quicker. Also, you don't have to keep buying corks and a corker.
