ok dokey....
Started off with a big pan, dumped in the sugar, with 2L of the rgj, then boiled kettle and filled up a 1L measuring jug and 5 tea bags, leave for now
Poured rest of juices into FV, with the pectolase (5 tsp) dissolved in a cup of warm water
After 10 mins or so, once pan of rgj fairly hot, no so hot that I couldn't test it with my pinkie though, and sugar totally dissolved. Pour this into FV
Topped up to 25L with cold tap water and temp about 24deg... SG 1.100 (slightly less than my sheet claimed) then pitched about 4 tsp of youngs super wine yeast compound.
Est abv around 15% ðŸËâ¬
Lid on, bunged in the cupboard ðŸËÆ

I always fill to the beginning of the shoulder and top up after racking so there is plenty of room for degassing.
True that...
In usually get away with it bit had a bit less sediment with this one so filled more of the 23L carboy. I start with 25L and usually lose a couple of L when racking
Probably my dodgy technique ðŸËâ°

I am bottling the same later, as you say its hard to tell if its cleared fully its so dark.
I would love to give mine 7 days but Mrs tea has hollow legs. :lol:
My son tried a couple of glasses last night when he came home from work, he doesn't normally drink wine but said it was good, high praise as he normally just grunts whenever you ask him anything. :lol:
