Yeah that's what I have decided to do because the grapes would give that slight wine taste ! I'm also interested in low alcohol versions maybe ale yeast n make a 5%round about fruity juice ( poof juice as I call it) That should work shouldn't it?

That sounds lovely! I might have to have a look at that juice ! I was going to use rasberry and pomegranate ( separate juices) and I was thinking about a strawberry kewi and maybe a bit of lemon and lime but if Asda do these juices then that's great ! I think I'd adventure down to get some!

Does that rule count if I was to maybe add other juices like rasberry or cherry or what ever, I know a lot if them are not 100% would I double up or its just the grape that needs to be 100%? I'm just waitig for an answer I probably already know but having a daft moment haha

Okay I get it now I just waned to make sure of everything ! Thanks chippy you've been a great help!

Thankyou for the quick reply! Another tiny quick one ( it may sound stupid) If it's 50% juice add two cartons, is that because the flavour would be too weak ?

I am going to journey into WOW's very soon and I have just a few questions. I know what pectose is but when would I add it, before fermentation or after? Also I've had a look at what glycerine and what I understand it's a alcohol-sugar soulution that's sweet. What is the purpose of this, is...

I'm not sure where this is ment to go so maybe admins can change it! That homebrew taste, I'm not sure if it's just my brews but that slightly lingering taste in every brew, everyone calls me crazy for noticing it as they love some of my brews but I can deffo taste it but cannot tell you what...

I've done two bad brews from this, I'm not blaming the fermenter I know it most likely was me but I wanted to hear to views on it. I liked the idea of it before I started, but since done a wine in a demijohn and that you vs alcoshots in their bucket which you leave a gap and both turned out...

I would agree about temp! Although for the first two lagers I did it was alright temp ! I've done two more brews since with good results and I personaly think it was sitting on the yeast cake to long as the other sucessful brews have that same twang but the flavour is over powering it ! That...

I brewed a wilkos lager a good while ago with hope that it would be better than my first lager brewing experience, this one would turn out good! Looks fantastic, clear a good fizz. Just the taste! Btw its been conditioning for months and has the same taste as my first brew The initial taste...

Thankyou for your replies! I always follow the instructions but sometimes as you know they can be ambitious! Like I said after a quick taste it tasted like rose, so at the minute atleast it tastes like wine haha! :)

Its a wilkos red cab sav! Instructions just say about onced it's cleared bottle it. I've bagged it now anyways I just wanted it off the sediment but as its cleared why not! I know early homebrews are rarely nice but it tasted like rose, the missus will be happy haha

Okay thabks, I'm 98% sire it's cleared in the demijohn ( it's a red) I just don't want it sitting on the yeast for too long cause I think that's what ruined my last two beer, they came out with mega "yeast bite"

Great forum! I have been using this site for a while now and have got some great information from it. Ive not long been brewing. I'm on my third now ! Things have gone great... Well sort of but that's what I like about this site I have found out a lot and I hope to improve and experiment along...

Hey guys, I'm on my first wine kit, and it seems to be going very well. My question is I'm going to rack it off to a secondary, fermentations done and it's clearing/cleared I am wondering if it is safe to rack it into one of my fermentation buckets problem is it does not have an airlock but...
