You haven't doubled up as you said earlier -
They are both a mix of two chemicals so you are not putting 2 teaspoons of sodium metabisulphite into each DJ.

I have spotted a couple of errors in the two videos and have edited the first post in this thread to point them out - http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=49462
At the beginning with the yeast etc. :thumb:

Put this on today:
2ltr asda wgj
1 ltr dimes sour cherry.
600g sugar making 1060g totals.
pectolase, citric, 2 tbag tannin, nutrient, glycerine, balihoo yeast.
Usually only make my wows with 1 ltr wgj but thought I'd try 2ltr as the wife got me 8 cartons from asda that they were selling off at 50p each
, question is what difference will this make?

I have never tried doubling up the grape juice, it will be interesting to find out if the difference is noticeable.

Popped to Hastings Asda yesterday to try & buy some White grape juice. Had 3 people looking for it. None anywhere. They don't seem to do it anymore. Tried 3 times now over the last couple of months. They don't have it online either. They had loads of RGJ though. Wonder why its soooo hard to get down here :wha:
I think Waitrose sell WGJ but we dont have one anywhere near and its £1.75 a litre.

If you haven't already tried it give red grape juice with a litre of apple juice a try i think you'll be surprised how it turns out.
You could also try it with a litre of cranberry, pomegranate or raspberry.

Has anyone tried making a prune wow? I started one last nite and wondering is anyone has tried it before. I used 1ltr lidl rgj, 1ltr tesco 100% prune and 500g of sugar then topped up with filtered water, should hit the 11.5% mark.
I cannot remember anyone making this combination, let us know how it turns out.

Sure will,its smelling nice and fizzing lol
just got these juices from aldi, would I need to put 2L in or are they 100% and only need 1L to my 1L red grape, read the label but don't understand it yet.
Can you post the ingredients for each carton.
Great news, what are you planning next?
My first go at a WOW is orange and purple grape (could find any white) and after only 5 days in the DJ it's slowed to a bubble every 5 mins or so. It's also lightened in colour considerably and has about 1/2 inch of lees at the bottom.
Should I be considering racking it already??

Five days is very fast, do you have a hydrometer? if you don't its difficult to know if it has finished, airlock activity cannot always be relied on as a sigh of fermentation progress.
You could taste it and see if its sweet or dry this would give some indication.
If it has finished you need to leave it another week in the DJ to allow the yeast to clean up after itself then its time to rack to a clean DJ.

Love wows. Done so many varieties and theyre very nice.
Put this one on on sunday:
300ml of lime cordial (boiled for 10 minutes to remove any ****)
1l of pomegranate juice
1.5l of white grape juice
800g of table sugar
wine yeast
nutrient
pectolase
glycerine
Hoping for a very dry, citrussy white.

thrown them away now, but I think I got the idea of it in the end, I done a easy rose that you put up, 100% red grape and 100%apple, that was fine.
then I done another one
rgj 100%, forest fruit from concentrate 27%, and I added another ltr of cranberry from concentrate 35 % I think. ? what do you think
