I not too sure if you should have boiled the cranberry juice first :hmm:

No doubt someone will advise :pray:

But good luck with the wine :

I didn't boil it last time i used it.....but do boil ribena when i use that

Good luck with the brewing mate, I have used Cranberry Juice in my Ribena + Cranberry Juice Brew and my Strawberry Ribena + Cranberry Juice Brew, they are still fermenting away like crazy and so far I cant see any problems allthough I havent tasted them yet so fingers crossed they will be ok! :pray:

Dont suppose you have done your Rose brew before ? If so does it come out a nice pink shade or is it closer to a red ?

Cheers

Topped up to 6 gallons.....only took a week to ferment out in this warm weather........

To be truthful too i've just made a magnum kit of Rose, med to dry(£16) added 2 punnets of strawberries, tin of peaches to it to add some extra flavour.

Started it week gone sat 27th aug....racked it last nite, finings in....will bottle it wednesday.....but that is a nice kit and not to expensive!!!!

But i just use red grape juice to give it a rose colour and mess about with ther fruits, hence the summer fruits added to this gallon!!! LOL

 

[Marrsy86]
