    Home grown grape wine

    Hi, I have 2 grape vines in my garden and after about 5 years they are cropping well enough to make wine. I have white Muscat and Triomphe d'Alsace which is a purple/black grape variety. I need 7 kilos of grapes to make 1 gallon which I have but they are a mixture of the two grapes. Will it...

    Hi, Just wanted to know what people think about following kit instructions and adding finings and other additives like sulfites etc or will I get a better end product by letting it clear naturally? Ciderdelic

    Frozen blackberries advice

    A website I found today says best within a year but should stay safe indefinitely if kept frozen at 0 degrees Fahrenheit so should be ok. Thanks for replies

    Jam wine

    Ive been doing fruit juice wines for years. Ive tried lots of different ones but my favourite is 4 cartons of apple juice in a demijohn topped up with water/sugar. That jam wine looks a nice colour.

    Jam wine

    Has anyone tried making jam wine. Jam is cheap and it would be easier than picking fruit. Just wondered if they turn out as good as wine from fresh fruits.

    Hydrometer readings

    Thanks for replies. Just not sure how accurate it will be when I work out the percentage after taking the finnishing gravity reading as I was expecting to use the difference between both readings to work out what my sg would have been if topped up from the start.

    Daddy long legs

    I think people refer to both crane flies and Harvestmen (the long legged spiders with little bodies) as daddy long legs. Neither are actually called daddy long legs.

    Apple and blackberry wine

    Hi, Has anyone ever made a wine using apple juice from cartons and fresh blackberries. I was thinking of using 2lb of blackberries and adding apple juice instead of water. If anyone has tried it, how did it turn out?

    Fermented orange juice

    I put it into 2l pop bottles and primed it with 4 tsp of sugar. It turned out about 5% and that was without adding sugar. Maybe I should have added some sugar because the added lemonade will be diluting the alcohol.

    Fermented orange juice

    It has actually turned out nice. Slightly sharp but add a little bit of lemonade and its nice and refreshing.
