Keep us posted Brian, I'm interested in this one, may try it soon for the missus, or maybe a raspberry TC..
You can do it without a bubbler using cling film over the top but not fitted too tight so that co2 can escape.

Thank pal....
I've just a horrible feeling I've cocked up somewhere....red grapes or white grapes!!!
I know I can put anything I want in it but....my brain is not working properly!!! Simple things like getting right indediants is doing my head in!! Lol lack of consitration in my half..
Ohhh! Well off to pitch the yeast.
The SG is 1075.

Cloudy apple juice will be difficult to clear, you can drink it if its cloudy as it does no harm but doesn't look as good as a clear wine.

Purple grape juice too Ã°Å¸ËÆ

used that once or twice myself Ã°Å¸âÂ

If I'd known I could have brought you a bubbler when I collected the cornys. Got a few spare, and some DJs.

If you sell more of your beer kit I could do a trade :)
