Well I bottled my first batch of wow (which is lush by the way) and all went well untill it came to corking the bottles. I followed the instructions and soaked the corks for 20minutes before inserting them. My goodness! What a chore! Everyone was so difficult to get it, I had to squeeze it with...

Hi, I racked my first wow today. I was very careful not to pick up any sediment so ended up leaving about 100ml of wine in the original DJ. So my question is can I top up the racked DJ? I'm happy with the taste and sweetness so added stabllizer and finings, i'm unsure whether topping up with...

Hi, today I syphoned my 1 week old fermentation into a pressure keg. Its a wilkos lager kit and I used cane sugar to brew it. Its a nice colour but when I sampled a little of it I wasn't blown away at all. It was completely flat and didn't taste strong at all. It fundamentaly tasted of lager but...

Hi, another noon with a hand full of questions. I apologise if this has been covered but my searches on this forum didn't quite answer all my questions. I'm currently brewing a wilkos own brand golden lager kit. I used sugar in it and its still fermenting. From what I've gathered it will be...
