Have you made this recipe before chippy?

Chippy_Tea · Aug 21, 2014

10 days in and still bubbling every 5 seconds.

They usually take around 10 - 14 days to finish fermenting then you leave it another 7 days for the yeast to clean up after itself, i will post back when i have finished it.

If you use a total of 1100g of sugar in a demijohn (including what is in the cartons) you will end up with around 13% ABV.

As i have made the equivalent of 5 DJ's in my bucket i used 4Kg.

Not this one as its a bit of a mixed bag, i normally make my wines from 1 litre of red grape juice or white grape juice and 1 litre of apple (or something else, pomegranate, cranberry etc) I multiply this by 5 if i use my bucket fermenter.

Have a read of this thread, there are many recipes and comments by members - http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=39846
