Hi all,
Total newbie to home brewing but have been interested in getting involved for a while, so on Saturday i finally took the plunge and startd by first ever batch of Kit wine. Start slowly, gain confidence and get more elaborate is my thinking.
Purchased a Wilko white wine 23L kit and after a successful Ebay bid, ���ã30, secured all needed equiptment ( FV's x 2, 1 FB, 2 x brewbelts, spoon, siphon and 6 x glass DJ's) from a chap giving it all up.
It was a nervy couple of days as i was not getting any bubbles in the air lock, but after searching this forum I found that these FV's dont seal very well !!
Oh no i thought - what have i done wrong??
Turns out nothing ( so far) as listening to the FV closely I can hear the bubbles being produced inside -Phew.
Will let you know how i get on with the next stage once fermantation stops and i start messing around trying to siphon it off and degass!
This is going to get messy!!
Here is my work in progress
