how much priming sugar did you add Looch ?
I only got 37 x 500ml bottles and I primed with 300g sugar, which works out at about 8g per bottle !
I opened one to try just now and it's more like slightly sparkling if anything... will give it until Christmas now I think, I have plenty other stuff on the go ðŸËµ

It seems that every supermarket I've been in recently doesn't have a Polish foods aisle - I know that there's one at the nearest Asda to me - but it's getting the time to go there, what with things getting in the way like work, taxing the kids around etc etc.. LOL! I managed to pop out of work to my great local home brew shop yesterday to find that they were closed too 
hahaha - I'll get it sorted soon. As for the priming, I've been using the Coopers drops - with my cider, lager & bitter they've worked like a dream - but they just don't seem to be doing much to this prosecco. I tried googling how many drops to put in & couldn't find a lot of info - so I started off with 4 per bottle, I've kept them in the warm. I opened a bottle on Saturday night, there was a pleasing 'pop' when I opened the bottle but as I say flat - or as my Uncle would say flatter than a witch's tit :lol: I have been opening the bottles & throwing a couple more drops in to the bottles. They'll probably explode soon!

cheapbrew: tastes pretty good matey, made it a bit strong tho ðŸËµ
Hi guys, thinking if trying this but need to ask a daft question first. Looking at what you have listed it's 13l but you devided by 5 for one dj (4.5l x5 =22.5l) so does that mean you topped up with 9.5l of water?
yeh mine's not all juice matey, nearly 50% water

Roddy I have a question for you I have made two lots up and started on the 22nd dec so its looking like it should be ready to rack on sunday, the prosecco has cleared very well, I used a sparkling wine yeast and there seems a lot of activity going on still forgive me if this sounds silly but will I still need to prime with sugar and secondly should I wait for activity to stop? I am very new to all this lol. atb wayne ps I have not checked gravity yet as i didnt want to disturb too much i just left it alone
