Cheers Kelper, I am going to let it fully ferment out then prime it with about 1tsp sugar per litre.

Im in need of A bit of help for my Elderflower Sparkly wine/champagne please. I am about a week into fermenting 23L and I just took a sample, the SG is now at 1010, it tastes lovely and it is still bubbling every 30secs or so. My question is about the carbonation, I want it nice and fizzy so...

Hi all, I am just starting to get into making turbo cider and today I’ve picked up a few different flavours of cordials and also hi Juices (with 50% fruit). What I want to know is is there any benefit in adding cordial to the AJ and letting it mix together either during or after fermentation...

Hi all, I am going to be making an elderflower sparkling wine and some Turbo Ciders this week, I do not have any yeast nutrient in though, I can’t get to a Wilko/boyes due to being stuck at home and I can’t find any online where delivery isn’t about a fiver! Is there anything else I can use...

Howdy folks, hope everyone is supping well and staying safe. I made a red wine kit a while back and am happy with the 30 bottles I have stored. I actually have a second one of the exact same kit to make ASAP as it is almost at its Best Before date. I don’t have another 30 empty bottles though...

Howdy folks, hope everyone is supping well and staying safe. I have a second 30bottle MYO red wine kit to start to make and because I don’t have another 30 empty bottles I am wanting to have a play about with flavour and rack it into 6 separate demijohns and then bottle later. My question is...

Wonderful answers thanks folks I will carefully rack off into another FV and then strain the stuff that’s left in the bottom, which should just be blackberry pips and flesh as I’ve already racked off once to get rid of the sediment. Thanks again! Loving brewing at the mo, really appreciate...
