Thanks for the tip Chippy just had to change the airlock again did the same thing so have drawn off some liquid and moved to kitchen bench where it is easily cleaned the other three the Rose and the 2 WOW varients are bubbling nicely....i'm assuming that the WOW will take longer for fermantation...

Quick update topped up the red wine (one on right of pic) to 4.5ltrs last night as per instructions went in this morning to find that it had come through the airlock and down the side of the dj and over the wall (newly decorated) and shelf OH was not impressed so cleaned up with no stains or...

Thanks for that Chippy_Tea me thinks that might be a bit further down the road for me then :oops:

I did a bit of reading and everything seemed to suggest the champagne route.... but like you i thought that can't be the only way cos that would be a pain for the likes of Prosecco makers will keep looking see if i can't dig something up (or in this case blow something up :whistle:) Cheers

Just wondering how you would go about making say a sparkling Rose wine? can it be done at home? i know you can add sugar to your beer/lager/cider bottles before bottling and leave to second ferment which gives the fizz but can the same be done with wine. Cheers

As always Chippy_Tea to the rescue I thank you sir now lets see if it works :-P Ok so hopefully from right to left we have 2 kits a red and a Rose then we have what i'm hoping is my own take on WOW which is 1ltr RG 1ltr Verry cherry and 1ltr AJ all pure juice 700 gr sugar 1tsp gervin wine...

Thanks simon12 for the quick reply :thumb: will pick them both up at weekend as an aside do you have to use brewers sugar with wine or would T&L work just as well? Cheers

So i plan on setting away a 30 bottle Rose wine kit, have read a LOT of info which while informative has me slightly bewildered :-( my question is simply this...... What size fv will i need i'm looking at the one from Wilko's but am unsure if i can get an airlock on it? or could i make it up in...

Thanks for that link Chippy_Tea very informative I now need to buy some more DJ's and wine yeast and yeast nutrient etc etc but my burning question atm is does ordinary granulated sugar do the same job as 'brewers sugar' in wine making etc?

Hi guys, Pleased to join your ranks am new to the whole home brew scene having only done a wilko 6 bottle chardonnay kit that said it has turned out better than i ever thought which in turn has whetted my appetite to do more, as such I am looking forward to bombarding all you with questions...
