I thought so, forgot this earlier and on the off chance I was correct I held back 100g of sugar to compensate lol

Quick question, do you take into account the sugar content of the fruit juices when working out to add 800g of sugar or however much you need ?

What do ppl use to sanitise ? currently I'm using WVP or whatever it is, been reading about Star San and was thinking of giving it a go

Ok, best put my little pot in lol

Ok, stupid question maybe, whys it kept in the fridge ?

I've not been worried about the state of the cork but I like the idea of stamping your own design in the top

Thank you

OK iv read a little about about these but as a noob to wine making i have a question or 2 1. Do you need to use these in kit wines or just home recipes ? I have kit wines on the go at the min which doesn't mention them so wondered if the stabilizers that's added with the finings did the same...

1 gallon Wilko's Chardonnay Total = 83 gallons

I bought a 50w tropical tank heater to try a water bath to regulate temp. This came with sucker pads to mount to glass but I've not used them. This was safe to submerge in the water and I just trapped the wire in the handle to stop it moving. I used a plastic demijohn and a 5 gallon bucket (the...

I've seen a 'whip' on eBay advertised for wine degassing, £11 or there abouts, fits to a cordless drill. Pretty sure I'll stick to the free method of shaking my demi's.

I will most prob follow your suggestion next time and fill it nearer the neck, always better to have slightly more than slightly less

Hmm, might have a try at this

I'm a 6 bottle kit maker and haven't allowed for it, I hope your outraged lol. This is my first go at wine making and following the instructions it says to top up to 4.5ltr which is roughly just above the shoulder of a glass dj, im currently waiting for it to clear before transferring to...

Ok, yesterday I took hydro readings of my wines to see what stage they were at. This is the reading of the first brew. Now the 2nd brew Now as you can see the airlock on the 2nd brew is at an equal pressure Now the 2nd brew in the plastic demijohn was done in a bucket of warm water...

Currently have 2 batches of wilko's strawberry wine on the go =2 gallons brewing

I'm currently brewing a strawberry kit from wilko's as my first foray into wine making, where it says top your dj up to 4.5ltr and leave for 7 days to ferment, mines just stopped after about 2 weeks. So don't worry about it still bubbling away after 7 days.

I have one dj in my room (as it's not my house) and one in the garage, hence using the heater while it's cold in there

So today I've started my 2nd ever wine kit, again it's a strawberry kit like my first but I'm trying out the technique of controlling the temp in a bucket of water with an aquarium heater. Fingers crossed :pray:

It's bubbling at a rate of 16 per minute through the airlock, just timed it lol
