Well... They have both fermented out to 0.994 which gives an A.B.V of 27.04%. I have tasted them and I can definitely taste the tomato but 27% ???? I didn't add any extra sugar. Should I half that strength because I split it into two demijohns ?

That is a very good question. 30 or so years ago I used to make wine but never drunk it. I used to bottle it ,cork it, and put a shrink cap on and lay it on it's side so the cork did'nt shrink. I drunk it years after and all but a few tasted o.k. Now it doesn't get that sort of chance to go off...

So what I did was split it into two demijohns added half a litre of grape juice and tomato juice into each one, added Youngs yeast and nutrient, topped up to the neck of the demijohn with water and put them onto the airing cupboard floor. They are now bubbling away happily so fingers crossed I...

So I cannot find a yeast that will tolerate that amount of alcohol so I'm thinking of splitting it into two demijohns , adding water and yeast/nutrient and trying that . Any feedback would be very much appreciated. I realise that the flavour will be halved but better that than throwing it away...

It tastes really sweet so I'm thinking of putting more yeast and nutrient in it. Has anyone got any opinions on this ?

Tomato wine started 5.07.18 O.G. 1.200 (the highest one to date). Checked today, 1.020. According to my calculations that is 23.62%. Doesn't sound right to me so I will be having a little taste shortly. I'll let you know the results.

Just tested my rhubarb wine. F.G. 1.000. The last one I made was 0.985. I thought it would be sweet but it tastes O.K. O.G. was 1.114 so A.B.V. = 14.96%. I'm happy with that :nod:

I've just checked 2 of my brews which have usually finished fermenting by now and the gravity is high, there's not much action in the airlock. I put it down to the hot weather (liquid temp 29 deg) so I've left the airing cupboard door open to cool it down and see what happens next. Hopefully it...

Too logical . It will never work

I think its about time we had some decent weather. It makes a change from all that cold and effing wet stuff. Went to Scarborough yesterday on the Busa and the breeze down the leathers was really refreshing. Got home ,had a few home brews ......Perfect day :cheers3::thumb:

I was thinking that if I get a chest freezer, I might get two brews in at the same time.

I.ve been looking at getting a fridge myself. Does it have to be a fridge or could I use a freezer instead ?
