I have recently bottle two 30 bottle kits, one a rose from wilkos and the other a californian white zinfndel and both of them have an unusual after taste. I would say that the taste is a little like sherbet is the closest thing i can think of, its almost a slightly chemical taste but it might...

I have one of these kits and i was just wondering how other people have found it after 6 months, the instructions claim that you have to add Potassium Metabisulphite but you do add a sachet of this to the wine as its part of the kit. Any other comments you would like to add to your posts are...

Is it possible to do this? The reason why i am asking is that 95% of the wine that we will be drinking is rose which doesn't take that long to age and certainly doesn't take long to drink with the wife around :wha: Its just a bit of a bore having to prep everything and syphon it into bottles...

I have only ever used this stuff a few times with beer but i have a stout thats about to go into a keg and i would like to add some finnings to it. What i need to know is when to add the finnings, is it a case of adding it to the fermenter now or adding it to the keg when syphoning commences?

We have some of this in at work and i was eying it up for a cleaner/steriliser for all of my brewing equipment. http://www.newlineltd.co.uk/acatalog/Ti ... r_394.html Cheap aswell compared to buying wilkos steriliser or VWP.

I plan on back sweetening a rose with splenda but i am unsure of how to add it, i am aware of how to acquire the desired level of sweetness but i don't know when its best to add it. At the moment the rose has fermented in a bin and it is now under air lock in a FV, it is clearing as we speak so...

I have order myself a couple of the classic coconut rum kits, i just love coconut rum so i could resist but i do not have any demijohns and i would prefer to do both of the kits at the same time so i was hoping i would be able to use an empty one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Latis-Water-Bot...

I have had a wilko rose kit on the go for 2 weeks now which was a little slow to get going but i have taken a reading and it looks to me that it is 1012 which indicates a medium wine. One issue is that i never took a reading at the start so i am unsure of its alcoholic strength but the wife is...

I have no issues sterilizing one of these at the start as it goes into the bin when that gets cleaned but its a real pain due to its size to just sterilize on its own, does anyone have any quick and easy way of sterilizing just the spoon by itself.

I have had my first batch of vino on the go for a week now, i have had it in the house for about half that time and the rest has been in the garage inside a plastic bin and covered with a few fleecy coats. I though it was time to take a reading to see how well it is or isn't doing and it looks...

I am attempting my first batch of wine (a rose) at home and due to not having the space in the house for it i was forced to place it inside the garage. After one day in the garage i felt that it was too cold and so i have brought it into the kitchen to warm up and its looking like i caught it in...
