Finally got around to bottling this wine, a beautiful colour and really drinkable! I'll deffo be doing this again!

Cheers Ian, looking forward to supping this one!

Air bubbles staring to slow so now thinking about adding the hop pellets. The kit comes with two packets, do I add both when ready?

Nothing wrong with diesel! Lol

Starting off me new brew tonight, evil dog double ipa, looking forward to supping this one!

Still slowly bubbling and colour changed to a nice dark red.

Slight update. Fermenting well and is a red/brown colour. Lots of sediment showing already, maybe over an inch!

500g castor sugar I think.

Intrigued by this thread I've completed a pineapple and coconut wine. I'm a beginner so I kept it really simple. 2l Tesco pineapple juice and 1l of coconut water, small bag of sugar, pectolase, yeast and nutrient. Turned out really smooth and very drinkable, one I'll be doing again!

That's the thread that got me thinking!

50% juice, no preservative

Popped in the local co-op and saw 1l cartons of the children's drink 5 alive. Thought to myself, will this brew and at 29p a carton I thought id give it a go! 4 cartons straight into the dj, small bag of sugar, yeast and nutrients and off she went! Bubbling well this morning, so the waiting...

Well, me n the Mrs are enjoying this wine, very nice indeed, very smooth and ill be making it again!

Any suggestions to an easy read accurate hydrometer? Thanks

Thankyou!!!!!!!
