I've been having a second go at making Mango wine from tins of pulp. This is my second attempt, and I used 4 tins of pulp, and topped everythign up with water. Unfortunatley, half a week or so on, I've ended up with a demijohn filled with only about 50% liquid, and the rest is pulp What...

I've made3 batches of wine so far, from various kits and supermarket fruit juices, but something I haven't done is age the wine, beyond fermentation & clearing. Should I still be aging the wine, even though it's not a traditional grape wine? If so, how do I know how long to leave it & what...

I've just about finished a batch of wine made from a tin of Kesar Mango Pulp, which you can buy in most supermarkets around where I live. The process was as follows: Day One ---------- Boiled 2 litres of water along with a tin of kesar mango pulp. Mix in 500g of granulated sugar Prepared a...

I've got a batch of Mango wine on the go at the moment that I've made from a supermarket mango pulp. Normally when a wine has finished fermenting, I add a bit of sugar, so that there's some sweetness in the final drink. I was thinking though, do I necessarily need to use sugar as the sweetener...

Anyone got any ideas where I can get some decent corks for my wine bottles? I've made a few batches with Wilko's own brand, but I've found them to be a bit crumbly when trying to open the bottle. I could do with something a bit sturdier.

I need some help! I started a batch of Mango wine away yesterday & nearly 24 hours later there's no sign of fermentation. My recipe was: * a tin of Kesar Mango Pulp * 500g sugar * 1 tsp yeast nutriant * 1 tsp pectolase * about 2 litres or so of water * a sachet of wilko's wine yeast The...

I've just made a batch of WoW, which I'm very happy indeed with. My wife is still nursing our second baby though, and won't be able to drink any until January. Will it keep that long? How long, generally, does home-made wine keep for? Also - I used finings to clear it, so it's only a few...

The packet alleges that the wine can be ready in a week. That's honestly a bit unlikely, and I've not been able to manage it after two goes, but that didn't surprise me. The end results were pretty fantastic though. It was my first go at wine making ever, and it was all made very easy in...

I've just made my very first batch of WOW using 2 litres of Morrison's Apple & Mango juice & a litre of Tesco's purple grape juice(i wanted white grape juice, but there isn't any in any of the supermarkets where I live). I've no idea how it'll turn out, but at the very least I'm hoping it'll be...

Hi, I'm having a go at wine making for the very first time from a Solomon Grundy kit (allegedly ready in 7 days, but that doesn't seem to be true!). I've got the wine in a demijohn with an airlock fitted. Fermentation took about 2 weeks or so, and is definitely finished. The bit I'm...
