I'm making some Victoria plum wine with 8kg of fruit. In his book CJJ Berry says it can be thin and to add a lb of grain, but that's about all. So I got some Wheat malt, it's all chipped up in a bag and I poured some boiling water on to soften it and will leave it overnight. Do I need to do...

I couldn't think of a better name for it (there probably is one!) than cider, but what would happen if I brewed like I do with cider, but replaced the apple juice with Pineapple instead? I've done a bit of a search around and found nothing, all I know is the acidity is similar to apple and it...

I wonder if this could be made into a sticky and the more experienced posters add to it? As a beginner this forum can be quite difficult to read when people use abbreviations for stuff you've never heard of, here is a list of a few I found along with answers from other members: FV...
