Milton Videne Peracetic Acid depends how lazy im feeling really :D

i dont think it would ruin the wine although 2 months does seem excessive for a Vimto! :shock: have you taken a hydrometer reading recently? Have a check and it ifs not far off I'd just rack it and stabilise, a lot of my brews do slow down a bit when the heatings off but never really to a full...

:clap: :clap: :rofl: jasea knows!

cheer chaps, thats what i thought but always best to double check! :thumb:

Hi all, I'm planning to do my first wine that isnt either a kit or WOW style. Now I have free access to blackberries and have found a recipe i like the sound of. Only issue is it says to use a CT to kill any wild yeast, it does say this is optional but I have some so thought I might as well...

I'll have to keep an eye out :cheers:

ingypingy, the Mango and the apple and raspberry, were they juice (from concentrate) or juice drink? All i can ever seem to find of both are juice drink with loads of additives. If it was the one with additives did a normal 20mins of the hob take care of it? Cheers :cheers:

I find that with most kits they would give a rough idea of predicted ABV in the instructions or the side of the packaging, I've upped this a few times by replacing water with either grape juice or simply adding more sugar. As Tony says though, you could be letting yourself in for a bad head...

each to there own GA!! :cheers:

cleslie - i hate to hear of anyone wasting beer! just in case you ever get a flat beer again, don't pour it away! I had around 14ltrs of flat coopers cerveza, half seemed to fizz up nicely but the other half nothing. This might sound not sound very nice but try mixing the lager equal parts to...

I only ever use supermarket home brands and always get a perfect crystal finish. I always clear in a demi, rack to 2 litre bottles for priming (for which i normally use ribena or another cordial and a bit of sugar, makes a lovely fruity cider), then when the pressure has built up i transfer into...

I found that my first TC was quite flat when priming with sugar, it was carbonated just not much, now I prime all my TC with various cordials for flavour which fizzes them up nicely and adds a nice flavour and makes it a pleasure to drink even after just a couple of weeks! :cheers:

Nice one blinky! I'm nearly at the 200l mark and I only started at the beginning of September! :cheers: Looks like you have a nice bit of space there mate...certainly looks very tidy and organised :clap: i wish i had that space! Currently its a few 25ltr FV's and 5/6 DJ's down the side of the...

not yet taken the leap into AG brews but that setup looks great! well done mate and hopefully someday one of your brews might make it into a pub near me so i can sample it! :grin: Luke :thumb: :cheers:

stick to your guns mate IMO you're in the right apart from the fact you're smoking GV...amber leaf all the way :D
