Thanks for this heads up

Just been in my Tesco (Bar Hill Cambs) and they getting rid of all homebrew at half price in the clearance section. if you are anywhere close, may be worth a visit for you. :thumb:

Phil, Do you ever come Cambridge way, I have 2 crates if any use to you. I do not want to get into posting em Kev

I did mine last year but to 5 gallon, and tried a bottle this week, I was hopping it would have lost some of its fruitiness as it seems to taste a bit like fruit juice still. I will try n brew short next time . I have a friend that is sampling a bottle , they are a Rioja drinker and will report...

Guys n Gals, just make sure u sanitize well, extra precaution use a bottling brush and make sure u rinse really well, don't leave any debri around the edges. Don't rush it and forget a hydrometer reading :doh:

I try and let these kits sit in demijohns for 6-12 months and they do seem to improve

The selection kits are well worth the money. My advice is not to skimp on the cleaning of equipment and follow all guidlines etc , but the finished wine will be well worth it :clap:

Cutlacks comes in handy if I run out of something ( not very often), but I know I will pay a little extra ( werry just before xmas was £26.99 or £27.99). Happybrewer in Bedford is a good place well stocked, but they will always order you something if not in stock. They always happy to give...

Im sure ive seen a device on one of the sites that is like the ball joint remover, but specifically for the wine box taps, it may even be on bagin a box site

If u can hold some for a good 6 months and chill it slightly it is great, wife loves it :cheers:

I got 29 Demis full as well as 60 plus bottls full. Am trying the free site for more demis , to get brewing again. I am starting to be able to make some wines such as Beaverdale and Kenridge and looking to leave them in the Demis for 6-12 months :D

For wine and beer (if bottling) I rack off into another vessel, Then I will bottle. On the point of doing the bottling solo I purchased a bottling stick (about £4) and it allows you to bottle really easily.

Now I have read this, I did not add any Pectose to my cider :hmm: I got it stored in Demijohns and had a look at it and it got a thin scum on the top :wha: So I sampled a drop :whistle: and it taste really good :party: I think when I get a bit of time I need to maybe put it through a...

I also found some floaters Also I think mine worked out to 3.6 With regards to floaters and I know I may get a telling of here, but I syphoned of through a tea strainer into a F bucket and then bottled. And what a superb drink it is :thumb: I will be brewing this again and again before xmas...

Have a look at the catering websites such as Nisbets :cheers:
