I am having a similar sort of problem so I thought it would be relevant to add it here. Made a WOW 2 days ago, and its starting to ferment properly now. There are thick clumps floating around in the demijohns, which I don't remember seeing last time I made some. They are rising and falling...

Going to try something like this! Will go and pick up a random cordial later, any suggestions given the outcome of your wine? Also in the recipe it says 1/2 cup of 2 teabag tea; is that 2 teabags in half a cup of water, or 2 teabags in a whole cup of water then only use half? I don't want to use...

I'm making the fiery ginger beer, should I add lager yeast or wine yeast? I have both :) and i just had a hilarious accident with the blender. I went to shake the contents because the blender was jammed but I didn't hold the top :lol: Everything is on the floor haha, good job I have spares

Just bought a lager making kit from my local Wilkinson and it was missing yeast! I was stupid enough to open the tin with a tin opener to see if the sachet was in there :rofl: I have never made lager before, so all I have is Youngs Super Wine Yeast and some Yeast Nutrient. So what shall I do...

The vimto recipe looks great! Im going to go out and buy another DJ tomorrow and give it a go! A quick question as i'm new to all this, the S.G = 1.060 for vimto that you have given. Is that starting specific gravity or afterwards :)

It smells nice but I think I killed the wild yeast off with the hot water? :shock: Im so tempted to add some yeast, this isn't going to taste nice is it? Does anyone know any other himalayan balsam recipes!

Himalayan Balsam is taking over! Its everywhere... Saw this recipe on TV http://www.itv.com/lifestyle/thealantitchmarshshow/recipes/champagne/ I wont quote it due to copyright but you can find it at the above link! I bought the book and its pretty good! My question is going to seem stupid but...
