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.

Just wondering if anyone can help me with a question. Basically, I've moved out of the home I shared with the misses, and I know the airlocks for my wines have been dry for about 2 months now (as I haven't been there). I put them on to ferment about 4 months ago so they are still sitting on all...

Saw a picture on Facebook earlier, and in my home it's just like the picture when a DJ overflows!

The other night I found a great clarity test for my flavoured TC! On top of my laptop I've got a small HP logo that lights up, and with a 1/3 full pint glass of my TC I got this picture: Thought it looked pretty awesome and just wanted to share! :thumb:

I'm going to be selling my car next month, which is a top spec Civic 2.2 diesel, to get rid of the finance, and also the fact that the car is too nice to be putting the amount of mileage that I do on it. So I've been looking around, and with a budget of £1500 (wedding and business setting up...

Just a word of warning, make sure you clean them out 100% properly. My stupid here didn't (just used some hot water) and went I to use it on Sat it had mould inside it. I always used to sanatise it again after use so going to have to start doing that again. Bit of a pain as I made 23L of apple...

Just wondering what people's drinking habits are. Only reason I ask is because I don't drink much, maybe a few glasses of wine, or spirit and mixer twice a week, but when I'm with friends I tend to binge. I know binging is bad for me, but with good company I'm sure we all lose track of how much...

Saw one of these threads on another site, and thought it maybe good to have one here! I would like to state that I'm a dog lover, and the misses is a cat lover, so we compromised and got a couple of kittens last year when we got a house together (I'm not under the thumb, honest!). Although I'm...

So today I had a bit of spare time so I made the most of it. I finally managed to bottle many strawberry, raspberry and lemon wines that I made from fresh fruit. First time I've done that and after an initial taste test I think they will be amazing! Also put on 3 more wow variants, 1 pineapple...

I'll hopefully be launching my business next month, providing I don't have any more costly or time consuming set backs, and it got me thinking. As there is quite a diverse range of members on here, I was wondering how many of you run your own business, or have done, and wouldn't mind sharing...

Haven't been on in a fair while, due to work commitments, family stuff, and trying to set up my own business (nearly there now, finally!). I bottled some wines earlier today, left them bulk maturing for 4 months I think, may have been 3, need to double check my notes. Normally I bottle them as...

Had a bit of a result today. I was on a standby with work at 3:30 this morning, thankfully didn't get called by the time I woke up, and knowing I couldn't really get called with the time remaining, I decided to make today a wine making day! I've managed to make a gallon of each: Pineapple WOW...

Just made another batch of this, great stuff to do shots with! All you need is 6-7 mars bars and a 70cl bottle of cheap vodka. A friend of mine who is a sales manager for a brewery (can't remember the name of it but they make Jacob Stiener, a Jager type drink) said that the cheap, nasty vodkas...

Was in Tescos earlier and I was getting some bits to make some hippy juice with as my last batch turned out lovely! I got blackberry and nettle (made it in my last batch and it was great), raspberry and strawberry, and blackberry and acia berry. I've got Absolut acia berry vodka which is...

If you goto www.hollisterco.com they have messed up there sale! Red and pink polo shirts, joggers, and a few other bits are reduced in price to £0 in the sale. I've ordered 4 polo shirts, should have been £126, but all you need to do is pay the £10 postage. Thought I would share the good...

I'll hopefully be bottling my strawberry TC today. But as I'm not a big fan of dry cider I want to sweeten it. I know people use spoons of artificial sweetener, but I only have the small tablet things of canderel in the cupboard, the type from that little box you click. Does anyone know if I...

So sitting here, watching a film then random stuff on tv, celebrating the start of my days off with a few vodkas, and one of the cats knocked my recently refilled glass over, and the other cat nicked my straw! Wouldn't have minded so much but it was Absolut Pear vodka. Such a waste of a nice...

Started my strawberry TC yesterday, lifted the lid of the fermenting bucket to have a look today, and the yeast has taken no time at all to get working! result! I used: 8 litres Tesco apple juice 2 bottles of that strawberry polish syrup Young's cider yeast Young's yeast nutrient Fingers...

I'm getting a shopping list of bits to get my sister started on wine homebrew for crimbo, and while I'm at it I thought I would order some cider yeast for myself. As I can then explain to SWMBO that it must have fallen into the online shopping cart. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a...

I managed to get some planned wines on the go today, would have been yesterday but unfortunately got stuck at work. Managed to get going a gallon of each: Cherry WOW with red grape juice Pineapple and coconut WOW Wilkinsons black cherry wine Lemon wine Strawberry wine Raspberry wine 23 litres...
