    Questions re 30 bottle Kenridge kit..

    Yeah cheers guys. All noted. I'll leave it a bit longer so as the elderberry's and oak get a bit more time on the must. Just surprised at how quick it's got down to sub 0.998 !!

    Questions re 30 bottle Kenridge kit..

    I've just tested my Kenridge Barolo and its 0.992. This is after 16 days of fermentation. The next stage suggests re-racking and the instructions state to do this after the wine is less than 0.995. Obviously it already is so should I just miss a step and go straight to de-gassing ??? Thats...

    Winebuddy Cabernet Sauvignon

    I have exactly the same issue. I bottled it on Christmas Eve and tried a bottle on NYE 2013. It was rank in fairness. Opening another bottle tonight to compare. If its *****, the 3 remaining will sit until summer for the last chance saloon...

    What Do You Tell Your Doctor..When.....

    This very issue is the current bane of my life. After dislocating my knee in Oct, I've been laid up pretty much since that time, only recently going back to work in the last week or so. Since Oct I've had AT LEAST a bottle of red a day. Minimum. I feel fab by the way. SWMBO disagrees.

    Wilko wine kit

    I have done a number of Wilkos' kits and one thing that is always apparent is that the instructions are ***** !! Take whatever they state in the instructions and add a few days (..like 5 days !!!) Do you use a hydrometer??? Keep your wine fermenting as it is for about a week. Once a week is...

    any mobile phone gurus out there

    Out of interest, have you got 'copy protect' or similar enabled on the SD card ?? This is sometimes a tiny little plastic switch on the side of the SD card that stops accidental deletion/removal/addition from the card ??? If its not a physical switch - your phone will have a specific memory...

    Making a lager - San Miguel Fresca

    I am a wine drinker at heart but I absolutely love San Miguel Fresca... I'm sat here supping a seriously chilled bottle wondering how hard/easy it is to make something that resembles this delightful nectar. Could a more learned colleague educate me??? WW :cheers:

    wine stirring.

    This process refers to 'de-gassing' the wine.. Where your wine has been sat in the fermenter, bubbling away, it will retain a certain level of carbon dioxide, or CO2. What they are basically doing is asking you to 'remove' the CO2 from your wine in order to make it 'flat' - very much like the...

    BrewTrax Software

    Just gone through the program again to gauge how it works. Are you familiar with databases and the like.. remember MS Access back in the day ??? I can only say that this program is essentially one large database. What the makers have done is create different tables and the like for different...

    Supermarket Juice Wine How To guide and Recipes.

    Yeah Padster - the redness from red wine comes from fermenting the initial brew WITH the red skins of the red grape. Should you wish to make rose, you use red grape but don't brew it on the grape skins. If you want white, you just use white grapes. Even the most red of red juice will not...

    Wilko wine kit

    Absolutely fine mate. Over the next few hours the yeast will start to react with the sugar and CO2 will be produced, making your bubbler 'bubble' like mad. One tip of advice - in the instructions it states to top up after 3 days. You can do this if you like but BEWARE, the kit will bubble up...

    It is everything to be honest. I don't do anything else other than wine but there are sections for everything!

    Supermarket Juice Wine How To guide and Recipes.

    Weirdly the above recipe has developed a haze which, I believe is down to Pectin even though I've added Pectolase. Was bubbling after 30 mins of pitching yeast mind. Phew!!
