Hi - just finished my 2nd wurzel's and got my demijohn's mixed up... I put the juice and bentonite for a 6-bottle Beaverdale Chardonnay in the, freshly rinsed with nothing but a quick swirl of cold water, old used Wurzel's demijohn!! I haven't put any yeast in the mix yet. Will my Beaverdale...

Put on my first WOW Monday 1st April. Standard ingredients but added juice of 1/2 lemon by mistake. Orange juice was very cheap quality from corner shop and DJ has been sitting in 20 degrees C waterbath since. Despite bubbler bubbling away at about 2 blurps per second for the past 2 days, my...

Hi guys - could really do with some help here. Just at the stage where I need to rack my first 2 wines brewed in a DJ. I've tried shaking with hand over the top, and got very splattered so don't want to continue down that route any further... So now I'm on the spoon - seems to be taking ages...

This is my first non-kit wine (Tea & Raisin - started Feb 10th). I hadn't thought about racking but was surfing net today and some sites suggested definitely need to rack after about 7 days to get off lees. Well, it's been 10 days, so I racked and used a campden tab. Didn't take gravity but...

Just put a bottle of red on its side and I saw the red wine come all the way up the side of the cork but stopped just before leaking... What have I done wrong? :shock:

Wanted to make a WOW but, guess what, couldn't find any white grape juice... Came across some Ocean Spray Rapsberry, Blackberry & Cranberry juice instead (71% grape, 10% Apple - should really be called grape & apple I s'pose lol). Anyway, the juice was reduced to 75p a litre so bought some. 3...

Just making my first WOW-type wine (ok, so couldn't find any white grape juice but got Ocean Spray Raspberry & Blackberry juice instead (71% grape, no preservatives), reduced at 75p a litre. Contains 14.1g/100ml sugar - i.e. 141g/ltr I purchased 3 litres, so 3 x 141 = 423g I took a brief look...

Just wondering if we get a discount at all the forum sponsors or just for Easy Home Brew? Cheers :D

Newbie here, this is my first foray into non-kit wine ... Just using things up from my kitchen cupboard, surfed the net and improvised... :pray: Tea & Raisin Wine 500g raisins - chopped 6 teaspoons Asda loose tea (use by date October 2011 but it still makes a nice cup of tea, so hope this...

Just finished this kit - bottled it yesterday. Added too much water by accident so had to make up for it with extra sugar and grape juice added, so not quite the straight kit... alcohol is a bit higher than planned... Still a very pleaseant drink and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend...

Sorry to be asking such a silly question but I'm totally clueless about things like this. I bought a 25ltr wine FV with a tap so I could bottle more easily. Apparently I need to put vaseline on the tap every so often though... Would anybody be able to tell me where I need to vaseline the seal...

Just putting together a 21l Cellar 7 Cab Sauv and filled up to 25 litres by accident (don't ask me how!). Any ideas how to fix it? I haven't put the yeast in yet. Just thinking perhaps I should get a second kit, fill to 17 litres (4 ltr short) and then transfer 4l from my 25l FV? Any ideas...

Hi there, Still very new to brewing wine but enjoying it so far. Still at kit stage (Winebuddy first, then Cantina and Cellar 7). Just in the process of brewing another Cantina and Cellar 7 before hopefully branching out to more exciting things... I have experienced problems degassing the...
