I'm starting a new Youtube Channel with my young son as a bit of a bonding exercise and a bit of educational fun. We've worked together on the channel including the camera work and editing etc. It's not amazing but our first real video produced is for the recipe I use for mead. Here's the...

Finally got around to making my first Christmas Pudding wine. It's been fermenting for a week. Just strained it into the demijohn for secondary fermentation.

Sorry but I just had to share this, I think it is class. Anyone with young kids MUST try this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cMKrn9yHTw http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/04/dad-go-pro-hide-seek-toddler_n_9158414.html?ir=UK%20Parents&ncid=newsletter-uk

Anyone know an online supplier in the UK who offers a range of coloured glass wine bottles rather than the green and clear? Ideally they would be available in multiples of 6 and not require me to sell a major organ to pay for them. Are various colours of glass available because I noticed...

'Old Tart' Lemon Wine is now ready. 10.5% on this medium sweet wine. Suitable for desserts or for light drinkies on a summer's evening in the garden. Tea and Raisin wine. Nice 13% on this one with a nice pleasing taste with depth, a good one for sharing as a little goes a long way. Don't...

It was in the FV for ages even though it was in a water bath around the 20 degree mark most of the time. It wasn't ready in time for Christmas but it finally went into the bottles this week. I didn't even sneak a taste, it didn't actually cross my mind to taste it, but it did smell very...

This had me in hysterics just watching it. Can you imagine this at a party? :rofl:... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V9QHBgrPNY

I just put this post on Facebook today and felt I should share it with you.:- RANT WARNING!!! (I'm getting my soap box out) Well there's a new one on me. I went a 'butcher' this morning to buy a whole chicken for roasting, "So what?" you may ask. But I was actually met by a surprised...

Just bought 5 1000ml mason jars for 99p each at B&M Bargains today. They sell for at least double or treble this elsewhere. I bought 5 but wish I had got more. I'm ill at the moment otherwise I would go back tomorrow to stock up.

Hi everyone, just to let you know I have changed my username from claw6317 to FatDad. The reason for this change is I am known by this name elsewhere and I prefer it to the more generic handle I used previously. PLUS it is also a good description of me. :) Sorry for any confusion and thanks to...

A couple of years ago I found an old image on the internet and decided to try and restore it. I worked on it for quite some time and was delighted with the results. It wasn't until I was part way through the restoration I realised what it was they were actually doing. I believe these were hop...

I’ve got the chance of an allotment and wondered if this could be advantageous to my wine or beer making hobby. Many fruits and vegetables are cheap and easy to buy but could I perhaps dedicate my allotment to items to help me make beers and wines? Perhaps things hard to find or...

When I started making wine in July I bought a couple of books and as I love traditional recipes I bought a couple of stonking old books mentioned by a few people around the internet. While they may not be the most up to date they are fun to read and give some interesting info. Definitely...

I have uploaded some label sheets I created for some of my general brews and recipes I have found on this forum for anyone who wants some labels but can’t be bothered to create them. Simply download the sheet(s) you want and print them onto an A4 sheet of paper or self adhesive A4 sheet...

I used the Brewer’s priming calculator (http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/) and worked out that I could use around 2g of sugar per 500ml bottle for priming my Cooper's Stout. Not having primed anything before (other than my punch as per the recipe) I just wanted to...
