Thank you John

Hi, me again. So the wine has gone through the first fermentation and lve now added the remaining ingredients, however does it still need to be kept warm or should l turn the heat mat off, it doesn't mention this in the instructions ? Regards.

Very useful, thank you.

Thank you, I've used a 10L bucket with an airlock stood on a heating mat so hopefully it won't overflow as it's only filled to 4.8L, touch wood anyway !

Ayup everyone, l'm new to home brewing, today l have made my first batch of 6 bottles of red wine with a further 2 kits to follow shortly, l would also like to try my hand at brewing beer a little further down the line and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to ask you all. Thanks, Nick.

This is my first attempt at wine making, l was bought a Youngs 6 bottle Cab Sauv kit, l've just made my first batch and on reading the instructions it doesn't mention stirring it through the first fermentation, however l have read on forums to stir it 2-3 times daily until the fermentation slows...

Thanks for the reply, I'll try following the exact ingredients first then I'll use the red grape juice method after for comparison purposes.

If you add red grape juice would you need to decrease the amount of sugar?
